Chapter 16

Immortal Dilemmas

The first feeling that came to him once he awoke, other than his hunger, was anger. The first thing he actually had consciousness of hearing in nine hundred years was his brothers voice. He had sped towards his brother once he made an unceremonious fall from his coffin but was stopped when he started registering a very familiar scent. A scent he had thought was taken away by his brother long ago, a scent so oaky and of grounded herbs. Sage, he was about to speak but was cutoff when his brother decided to shove some sort of bag into his mouth. His initial reaction is to bite down as he did he was finally fed part of him was disgusted by how easily sated his vampire was because of blood. But the other part was happy to get rid of the constant burn and ache he had been feeling. He drained the bag of its contents, his throat was still burning, and he was about to speak but once again it seemed as his younger brother was determined to force feed him. It seemed that their sister was also force feeding their other brothers while his Sage looked on.

He was sat down on a strange leather bound couch and looked up expecting to see the usual superior smirk that rested on Klaus’s face. He was mildly surprised to see Klaus look upon them with a look of concern and cautiousness. From his mother’s constant muttering of how his siblings were monsters and becoming worse he expected Klaus to have turned his humanity off permanently. Klaus leaned down to examine his eldest brother which caused Finn to question what Klaus was looking for. “Well, big brother, I’m just trying to estimate how many more bags I’ll have to feed you in order for your skin to regain color.”, out of instinct Finn looked down to his hand and Klaus was correct. Finn barely had any color to his flesh. Nine hundred years without any nourishment, it was definitely going to take a while for Finn to be considered a healthy vampire. He looked back up back to Klaus with a glare to snap at him, to berate him, to insult him, and generally just say anything to get back at his brother for confinement of the last millennia. But he stopped before he could even start as his brother had a look of remorse on his face while examining his form, an emotion Finn had been sure that he would only ever see from his brother when he was human.

What in the world? His mother had stated that his brother had become the ultimate monster. He had heard from her that Niklaus had broken the bindings on him. But instead of being more monstrous if anything this is the most human he had ever seen his brother since their early years of vampirism. He looked over his brother questionably as if Klaus was a puzzle that needed solving. Klaus ignored the looks and focused more on feeding his brother, Finn was so lost in thought that he just drank whatever Klaus was giving him. Klaus knew in Rebekah’s eyes that he would need to talk to Elijah first but Finn was the first of his brothers and they had a very strained relationship.

He had talked to Sage beforehand and asked her, for the sake of his brother, if she could stay at the mansion for however long Finn would need. She of course agreed, but she had questioned Klaus, she never got to really know Klaus other than what Finn would tell her. Why now, why did Klaus decide to awaken his brother, her love, after nine hundred years? Why had he done so in the first place? From that she finally got both sides of the story. How after Klaus had found out that he felt that he wasn’t true brother, just the bastard that his siblings had to put up with for all eternity, he felt he needed control in order to not lose the only family he could have. How, Finn spoke of their family being abominations made him feel as if he was trying to abandon them. He couldn’t bear the thought of his eldest brother, any of his siblings, trying to find a way to end things.

He went about it wrong he knew that but Sage know knew. She knew that while he was trying to undo the curse to unlock what was wrongly taken away, he also did it in order to be strong enough to fend off Mikael. She asked why was he so being so open with her and why wasn’t he discussing this with his sister or pet Salvatore. “Because you are the most important person in the world to my brother. And you deserve to know you in-laws a bit better. My brother had grieved the loss of our humanity but with you it seemed that you were able to lift that burden. If anyone has any say in what should occur with Finn you should have some input as well. My sister didn’t have a strong bond with Finn so I’m afraid the only thing she knew was his love life. And I’m afraid my little brother, Stefan doesn’t exactly have the best relations with his own brother, but who could blame him.”, he ended with a smirk but Sage could see the anxiety rising in the hybrids eyes. With that she agreed that the first conversation he would need to have would have to be with Finn.

She came over to them and shared a tentative smile with Klaus. Finn looked shocked at how they were interacting. She gave Finn a kiss and hand squeeze. She knew if she didn’t coax him, he would never just talk with Klaus. She knew how important family was to Finn, if she could help she will. “Finn, I’m so happy to see you.”, Finn was elated to feel Sage with him. But his mother…why would she lie and say that Klaus had murdered Sage. She saw that he was in thought but they needed this conversation now, he needed to know. “Finn, we need to get you back to full health. But most importantly…you have a conversation with your brother that is long overdue.”, he looked shocked that she would say so. But he knew Sage was right and with her being alive did raise questions. If his mother had been willing to lie about Sage what else could she have lied about?

She left them to have some sense of privacy. He wordlessly gave his brother modern clothing to change into, perks to being a vampire changing doesn’t take long. Klaus had pulled a dining room chair for sit in and gestured for him to sit down. He did and noticed his brother had a smaller version of shears in his hand along with some sort of metal tool in his hand. “What is this for Niklaus?”, he couldn’t help but ask.

“I’m not sure if you’ve noticed Finn but it’s no longer common for men to have hair at this length.”, he had noticed Klaus’s hair being short. Such a strange thing to see. But they were to be talking why was his brother offering to cut his hair? He continued to stay still, might as well get it done with.

“I’m sorry…for everything. I’m not sure how I’ll ever make it up to you but I want you to know that.”, his brother apologizing? Something was amiss, since them turning Klaus had apologized very rarely. At most he would only see he did wrong two times before Finn had been daggered, he has no clue if Klaus even apologizes anymore. He could hear their siblings stopping in their tracks at Niklaus’s words.

“You’ll have to be more precise Niklaus. There are many grievances between us.”, he couldn’t help but say so in a clipped tone. He was again shocked when Niklaus had flinched at his response. That was not…Niklaus had only ever done so when they were human…and only when he was with father. What had happened to his brother? He could hear his siblings and Sage waiting for them at the other end of the grand house.

“I’m sorry that you had to put up with me for a century. I’m sorry that I had you daggered for nine centuries. I’m sorry that I’ve been such a terrible brother to you that you would readily believe that I had murdered the one person you wanted to live for. I’m sorry that you have me, a bastard, for a brother.”, Klaus had did it. He finally said to his eldest brother his biggest concern. He could feel his eyes getting misty but he blinked it away before his brother could see him in such a state. When he found out he was a result of his mother’s affair his reaction to everything was in fear. What if his siblings were to decide that as a bastard he had no right to call them his brothers and sister. He was afraid he would be abandoned and left alone.

“Niklaus! I may be furious at you for having me locked away for centuries but I would never be angry with you for having a different father. We were raised together, we played together, but it would seem that was out of the situation when I had dared disobeyed you!”, he never thought that Nik would have these thoughts. He always seemed so carefree and headstrong. Never for a moment did he believe that Niklaus was not his brother. He had already lost their youngest brother, he didn’t want to lose another over petty thoughts. But it still hadn’t excused that just because he felt differently on their curse that Klaus could just lock him away. He held his brother’s gaze when he looked up to meet them with a look of…disbelief? He was so caught up in their conversation he and Klaus didn’t take in that their siblings had stopped talking to listen in.

“You think I had you daggered for nine hundred years because you disobeyed me?! Finn, you had constantly gone on about us being abominations, about our family being monsters. I saw, I saw that everyday you dreaded still being alive. With Sage you got better. But then she disappeared, it was like we were starting to just get you back and then we started to lose you again. And I couldn’t bear it any longer! We already had lost so much family. Henrik, I still cry every year and reminisce him in the season of his death. Mother, her death will forever be on my head she was supposed to protect us but she never batted an eye when father raised a hand or whip to any of us. Then she sealed away what was essentially apart of my soul, Finn! And Mikael, I understand his need to kill me! I am the bastard of his wife that he was forced to raise! But the man who raised us, the man we called father he hunted us. We lost so much Finn, we couldn’t lose you as well, no matter how much you hate me, please don’t abandon them, please don’t try to abandon our family again.”, Klaus couldn’t hold back his tears any longer, he tried to take in shacky breaths to calm himself. While Finn got lost in thought, had his pain really been that visible and had it really hurt his siblings to such an extent. Niklaus may be a manipulative person but he would never make himself display that he was vulnerable. It was as if in the first time nine hundred years he was seeing his little brother again, without any of his armor. He sped to Klaus and felt him tense when he had gripped his shoulders. He brushed off the hurt he felt and met Klaus’s gaze. All this time he thought he was saving their souls and speaking the truth. He had hurt his family enough, he was done listening to mother.

“Niklaus, look at me. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for never seeing that I wasn’t the only one suffering. I’m the eldest yet I was never able to protect my younger siblings. I’m sorry for making you feel that I was abandoning you. I’m sorry that I left you to suffer on your own. But most of all I’m sorry that I didn’t try harder, to show you that even though we don’t share total parentage that doesn’t make you any less of my brother. I was there for your first smile, first words, first steps, and all your other first. You are my brother and I swear by the family name that I will try harder. I won’t abandon our family again.”, he next had done something that he hadn’t done since Niklaus was a child, he brought him in for a hug. It took a moment but eventually Klaus returned it and used Finn’s shoulder to quiet his relieved sobs. He felt Finn rubbing his back and used it to comfort himself to stop. When he stopped crying he lifted his head to avoid his brother’s eyes. He hadn’t cried in front of anyone in the last five hundred years.

“Can we keep it in the house that you had to comfort me and that I actually can feel sadness?”, he asked with a joking voice. His brother just rolled his eyes fondly. Then the moment was broken when the rest of his siblings decided that their one on one time was up. Elijah had heard everything and looked proud of his brothers, so did Rebekah. When he met Kol’s gaze he could see some anger but he gave him a tentative smile. Klaus didn’t know it but at his reconciliation with Finn had definitely strengthened their family bonds. He met eyes with Rebekah and she gave him a nod, hopefully his brothers won’t find current events too…strange. He gave one back and she took out her phone to send a text.

“Now I believe it be time for my brothers to get caught up with the times.”, Klaus said after clearing his throat and ignoring the heat he felt in his cheeks.

“The doppelgänger, Elena, is she proving to be trouble?”, Elijah as usual got straight to the usual root of the problem.

“Another doppelgänger? I had thought Katerina was the last of her line?”, Kol had remembered how infuriated Klaus had been. It was the first time he felt anger towards Elijah and remorse for Klaus.

“As it turns out brother she had a child out of wedlock before we met her. But the latest one has been a quite prominent thorn in my behind.”, Klaus said with an irritated growl in his voice. Elijah looked at his brother curiously. But Rebekah wanted to share the good news first.

“While you lot were indisposed Klaus and I added a few members to the family.”, she said with a very large smile.

“Few members?”, Finn couldn’t help but repeat. His brothers looked as curious as he did.

“Yes brother, you see as an alpha of my pack I felt that they became more to me than just some subjects. And of course there is Stefan.”, his brothers could understand the pack bit, werewolves were family oriented. But to Finn and Kol they wondered who Stefan was. For Elijah he almost let his calm mask fall at the mention of the younger Salvatore.

“The younger Salvatore? I had thought with his relationship with Elena he would be against you.”, Elijah remembered that he along with Damon would stop at nothing to protect Elena. Honestly, was quite annoying at times.

“Salvatore?”, Finn wondered what was his family’s history with them. It would seem only him and Kol were out of the loop.

“Katerina shared many qualities with Tatia including juggling brothers. I’m afraid that she made them immortal but luckily the younger was never actually attracted to her, Stefan.”, Klaus let anger seep into his tone. Katerina would have hell to pay for daring to take advantage of his little brother.

“Anyone that holds disdain towards that tart already earns a few points in my eyes.”, Kol never gave Katherine the time of day even though she had tried to gain his attention multiple times. He could always see a glimmer in her eyes of greed and if it wasn’t for Klaus he would have killed her when she kept insisting in her advances.

“Yes, the fact he could see past the blinds similar to what Tatia did is indeed a better man.”, Finn may not have shown it but he was protective of his younger brothers. Once he learned that some girl had dared to pin his brothers against each other for her affection he had wanted to drown her in the creek.

“Well, I took him under my wing and we have a new younger brother. Congratulations Kol.”, Klaus said with a smirk. He wasn’t disappointed with Kol’s reaction. Finn was twenty-seven, Elijah was twenty-four, Klaus was twenty, Kol was eighteen, and Rebekah was seventeen. After Henrik, Kol had become the baby boy of the family they were fiercely protective of.

“IM NOT THE BABY ANYMORE!! YES!”, Kol couldn’t help but shout. His siblings chuckled at his antics.

“I must say this is while delightful news is a big surprise.”, Elijah said once Kol settled.

“Let’s all sit down there is more you lot need to know about has transpired.”, he went on to explain his and Stefan’s history. He explained how Stefan was left to fend for himself against an emotional manipulative girl and how Damon was no help. His brothers burned in anger at Damon just ignoring his brother in obvious distress just to benefit himself. He gotten up to recent events like how the pack would help in finally dealing with Mikael when Rebekah got a text back.

“Why is that strange rectangle making a noise, sister?”, Finn is going to need a looong lesson in history. But it won’t take long, they do have forever.

“It notifies me when a message is ready to be read, Finn. No need for messengers anymore with these.” Rebekah calmly explained while showing him and opening her camera to show the other things it could do. He jumped a little but examined it.

“Man kind has truly evolved.”, Finn always thought it strange the new things humans would make but they always seem to follow a pattern. Rebekah took her phone back when it looked like her brother wanted to break it open to see the inside. She turned to Klaus after responding.

“Yes it has, Nik he said that he’ll be over as soon as he can.”, they thought it best to introduce them now before anyone else in Mystic Falls.

“Who? Stefan?”, Elijah hoped he guessed it right. He was inquisitive and wanted to know the full story of why Stefan had decided to switch loyalties.

“Yes, you see brothers other than Stefan sharing a bond with I, he has achieved something thought to be impossible…but first I must explain our recent discoveries.”, in order to explain their story Klaus has to explain the history of Hailey’s kind.

“Discoveries?”, Finn had always been the one to want to make discoveries and to have creations of his own. While Nik had painted, Finn had worked with wood and stones. He had made his siblings toys and had enjoyed it immensely at seeing their young faces light up.

“Yes, as it turns out there is another kind of magic users. A whole secret society and world filled with magic and they use wands!”, Klaus said flamboyantly. His siblings could see that his eyes light up at the sound of a world were they would be considered normal. But Kol’s eye’s sharpened at Klaus’s description, it couldn’t be.

“Wand wielders? But that’s not possible!”, Kol said in an awed tone.

“You don’t seem very shocked at this brother.”, Finn said while taking in his brother’s reaction. Kol was always the one that had a fondness for magic and witches.

“I knew of them but it can’t be! Human had hunted them out and burned them all! They’re extinct!”, as much as it pained Kol to say it was true. Wand wielders had been persecuted long ago and wiccans had been the ones to survive longer. But Klaus just shook his head to negate his brother’s thoughts, it brought some hope for Kol as he never got the chance to encounter a wand wielder.

“Not extinct more of endangered. They had gone into hiding, brother. And we have made a strong bond with them.”, Klaus said with a fond smile on thinking back about the new family in Mystic Falls. He handed Kol the items he had gotten from Hermione and Hailey.

“You have made allies with wand wielders?”, Kol was amazed even before they supposedly went into hiding wand wielders never had really communicated those outside of their community. The fact that Klaus made allies with them is astounding. He looked at the book and stick with awe.

“In a sense. I made a vow to them in our family name. You see a very powerful wand witch is Stefan’s mate, her name is Hailey.”, Klaus said with some pride in his voice.

“Mates? A witch and a vampire?! That’s impossible!”, Elijah said. Mates within the vampire race was rare enough as it is but an interracial mating bond was never heard of.

“Impossibility seems like a daily occurrence with Hailey Potter. As the mate of our youngest she is our sister-in-law. Which reminds me that I need to speak to a lawyer.”, Klaus said quoting his newest younger sister. Klaus had been doing some thinking and it would be best to have some lawful advice.

“For what Nik?”, Rebekah looked at her brother curiously as did the rest of their siblings.

“Just to see if it’d be possible to achieve an idea that’s been bouncing around my head.”, Klaus didn’t want to have the idea out and get everyone’s hopes up before they knew if they could actually achieve it. Kol wanted to get back on topic.

“I understand that her being a vampire’s mate is impossible but what else? You seem to be leaving something out.” Kol said looking over to his brother with inquisitive eyes, he truly did have an interest with magic. Just as he was about to answer the door bell ringed, no doubt Hailey’s doing.

“If you’ll follow me brothers to greet our guest you’ll see the other impossibility achieved.”, they all trailed Klaus in their vampiric speed. Sage had shown up to Finn’s side holding his hand also curious to see the impossible witch. When Klaus opened the door they were greeted to the sight of a beautiful young couple that had infants in tow. The girl had a beauty about her that could only be explained by her witch status. Her black hair made it seem her porcelain like skin and emerald eyes were glowing. The boy had a handsomeness to him and Sage could understand now why Damon had been so envious of his younger brother. His brown hair and tan skin made his eyes really stand out with their color of aqua. But the babies…

“Brothers and Sage meet the Potter-Salvatore’s. Hailey, Stefan, and of course nephews meet the rest of our family.”, Klaus said as he directed the happy family inside. He peeked over Hailey’s shoulder to smile down at the boys and they stared back at him with their adorable eyes wide. Sage, however, knew why the family is considered out of the norm.

“What? You have children but your so young?”, while not uncommon is was still a concern for Sage. What brought about the young witch to have children at such a young age. Finn didn’t understand Sage’s question.

“Is it no longer usual for someone of her age to not be wed and a mother?”, Finn said looking at everyone curiously. It was common for people as young as thirteen to be engaged as back then life expectancy was anyone’s guess.

“It hasn’t been common in the last century, but we are married.”, Stefan could understand Finn’s question. Back when he was human he would have had an engagement if it hadn’t been for the war despite his young age.

“Wait a minute…”, Kol got a closer look at the infants and at the couple. The scents, the similar features, but most importantly the bond.

“HOW?!!?”, Kol asked flabbergasted. His brothers did the same as him as they finally noticed what he had. It wasn’t possible! Klaus took maybe too much pleasure from seeing all their looks of shock. He went on to explain.

“Hailey and Stefan has truly done the remarkable. As a vampire and a witch they were able to produce offspring. Allow me to be the first to introduce Cedar and Caelan Potter-Salvatore. The impossible children made by the impossible mates.”, Klaus did not hide the pride or smugness from seeing his brothers and Sage do a fantastic impression of a gaping fish.

“It’s been my experience that impossibility is just another challenge.”, Hailey had to just add with an impish smile. Stefan shared it with her and put his arm over her shoulders. Bringing her closer and allowing him an easier way to look adoringly at his sons. It seemed that was enough to finally snap the others out of it.

“Children produced by a vampire? It not possible!”, Elijah couldn’t help but loose his usual calm composure. He had been awake the longest and had seen much more than his siblings. But a secret world and children from a vampire was just overwhelming.

“I’m afraid that your wrong on that, in my world it’s not as uncommon but it also helps that I’ve never been one to follow the norm.”, Hailey said with a smirk and looked to Stefan who also smirked at the end of her statement. Kol couldn’t help it any longer.

“If I may?”, Kol asked Hailey and Stefan. He stepped closer to them to peek at the children and held his hands out in question. Stefan let out a low growl at him but was quickly placated by Klaus and Hailey reminding him that this wasn’t a threat, this was family.

“Do you know how to hold him?”, Stefan answered and questioned. He sounded a bit strained but it was progress. A very valid question he thought, he wondered if the originals were ever able to hold a child during their vampiric years.

“Uhm…directions would be appreciated.”, Kol could feel his cheeks glow red in embarrassment. Stefan helped in showing him how to support Caelan. Kol couldn’t help but examine the new kind of hybrid. His brothers had flanked him and were as well looking over the baby.

“Amazing. Was your pregnancy similar to a normal one? Was it more painful?”, Sage asked while looking at the child that was still in Hailey’s arms, Cedar. Hailey answered with a smile. She handed Cedar to Klaus as she knew he had been secretly dying to hold the boys again.

“Thank you. My pregnancy was far from normal. My gestation was only for two and a half months. It was slightly painful as the twins are part vampire and they stronger than normal. And of course the biggest surprise was actually birthing twins.”, the vampires in the room were listening intently. They took turns asking questions which reminded Hailey of school children. But unknown to them a force was brewing, one so desperate and dark it was willing to do anything to rectify what it believed to have been a plague on this earth. A simple dream to a certain Wiccan left her message.

“Free me, dear one. Help me rise!”, the world was about to be greeted by an old spirit. One that would have to use force as her eldest was no longer of any use.

So I was wondering, were you planing on posting Immortal Dilemmas anywhere else, or only on tumblr? If you aren’t planning to, can I post it on FanFiction.Net with your permission and credit to you? I recon if you post this on ff.n or Ao3 you would get a lot more attention for this pairing/crossover. I adore your story and I want it to get the love it deserves :)

I actually have it on AO3 but your free to put it on FanFiction.Net.🤗

Chapter 11

Immortal Dilemmas

Moving to America proved to be quite simple, they gave the President the truth and in turn were seen as political refugees. America’s magical community was more up to common times and did not believe in putting unnecessary restrictions on a species that had no control of how they came to be. Remus and the boys had to be registered but it was only because MACUSA would be sending supplies to help with his transformation and help in meeting standards to the boys…diets. Teddy was old enough to eat solids, they had given him special cereal that he would enjoy and help with his fast metabolism. The twins were given a cooler filled with donated blood bags to last a week and bottles that would make it appear that they were just having milk. A MACUSA Healer had advised Hailey to mix in her breast milk to the blood. Remus was to be given a potion every month to ease the transformation pain and keep his state of mind intact. He was also given a book of runes that would keep himself confined to an area as long as he was a wolf. One thing that shocked all of them was that in America, you have to be eighteen in order to be considered an adult. It didn’t change their plans but it did add more paperwork as the teens had to go through emancipation.

They told officials of their desired destination and was promptly given several pictures of homes that could fit the large group. Being the Lady of two very well off families came in handy when choosing a new home. The most expensive house offered wouldn’t even put a dent in her inheritance vault, she wouldn’t even need to pull funds from the main vaults to replenish funds. The others didn’t like that she was trying to pay for everything and were gonna speak up about it…until she turned her head slightly to throw them a quick glare. It made an amusing sight for anyone who didn’t know of Hailey Potter’s feats, a petite girl holding two infants to her chest while glaring at the group of older people as if they were misbehaving children. Hailey knew not to be stupid with her money and buy a overly lavish house, a habit formed because of the Dursley’s that she was uncomfortable to buy things for herself but she has no problem spending money for her loved ones. The others relented and agreed to go with whatever decision Hailey would go with. They would need privacy and enough room for everyone, including when the family would want to come and visit.

Hailey decided on getting a white Victorian style mansion that was well isolated on a hill. It wasn’t too far away from town and could be easily updated and fixed with magic. MACUSA had stated that there was a population of supernatural creatures that did not fall under wizarding jurisdiction residing in the town, they’re called supernaturals. They gave the group items that would prevent the supernaturals ability to take advantage of them. The officials had to reassure the group that the items would not hurt the young ones or Remus because of their creature status. They were given options of what to use and they decided on necklaces that they would pass as wearing their family emblem. Hailey made the design: a platinum chain attached to their ‘coat of arms’ that would consist of the deathly hallows symbol, with a sword behind it, and with a lily, stag, and grim in different corners of the emblem. The gem would be obsidian. The young ones couldn’t have necklaces yet so they were given little bracelets instead. MACUSA had strongly advised that if the supernaturals were to cause a ruckus and bring unwanted attention to no-maj’s they could be called to send a obliviate team.

“We survived and won the Blood Wars, we can handle whatever these supernaturals throw at us.”, Ron said in order to ease Hailey when he saw she was getting worried. The thought of having to fend off the population made the group a little anxious but Ron made a point, they have survived too much for them to turn tail. They grabbed the portkey, a flower pot, to travel to Mystic Falls, Virginia. It was around mid afternoon and the house wouldn’t be ready until tomorrow morning. Tonks, Remus, and Teddy were to go to a hotel to get rooms for the night. Hermione and Ron made off with everyone’s shrunken luggage to the new house to get a closer look and what they would need to make it feel and look more like home. Despite the other’s concerns, Hailey went off alone with the twins to look around town. She gathered a lot of attention that reminded her of her time at Hogwarts, she just hoped it was just because she was new to town. With everyone staring at the new mother she made off to find a place with less people not knowing that she had caught the attention of Damon Salvatore with her unique yet familiar scent.

Damon didn’t know why but there was something about the new girl that rubbed him the wrong way. She was hot that was obvious but her scent made him wary, why did she smell like his brother? Ever since that infuriating deal was made with Klaus, all Elena would talk about was getting Stefan back and it made Damon resent him more. Why was it that every girl he was in love with, love Stefan instead? What was it about his little brother that made him so great? As far as Damon could see his brother was boring, predictable, and was too negative. Damon thought himself to be exciting (dangerous) , unpredictable (bipolar), and tries to look on the bright side (hypocrite and only does so when he doesn’t want to accept things as they are). If the new girl has some connection to Stefan he’s going to find out and see if he could use it to his advantage. If she’s not important to his brother he might as well have a little fun with her to get his mind off Elena for a while.

He walked up to the bench she was sitting on and promptly placed himself next to her. He eyed the babies she had with her for a second before disregarding them. He didn’t care about the little rugrats, she was probably just looking after her brother’s for her parents, he just needed to know what her connection to his brother was. She was startled when he sat down causing him to smirk at her. She noticed him eye her boy’s before ignoring them and starting a very uncomfortable conversation with her. Her first impression of this guy was that he was similar to Gilderoy Lockhart.

“Hey there, new girl. I was just wondering what a fine lady such as yourself is doing in our small town?”, he said with a smirk and with some compulsion towards the end to know what her goal was. Hailey looked at the stranger in disdain. She’s never been comfortable with random guys just walking up to her and then hitting on her. It’s gotten even worse after mating with Stefan to the point that it just made her angry. Her response shocked Damon.

“I moved here to get away from unwanted attention which I can see is still going to be a problem. Now please go away as I am trying to enjoy the day with my sons.”, she was not ashamed of having children and she’ll be damned before hiding the fact. She noticed that he was still just staring at her so, she gathered her baby bag and stood up to leave. But before she could walk away the pompous stranger grabbed her arm with an annoyed look on his face. She was beginning to regret wanting as little people as possible around her. He was about to speak when a blur came and pushed him away from her. In place of the blur in front of her was the back of a very rememberable man, the same man that captured her heart and took away her title of a maiden. In front of her stood Stefan Salvatore, her mate, father of her sons, and unknowingly her husband. And his face was full of rage with a possessive gleam in his eye as he stood between her and that pompous man. She looked ahead and finally noticed that Stefan had pushed that guy so hard that he had caused a dirt trail and crater. Damon had got up slowly and relocated his shoulder and collarbone. He looked towards the new girl and wasn’t shocked to see his little brother in front of her.

He was surprised to see the amount of anger on his brother’s face. But before he could taunt him, Stefan had picked Hailey up and sped away. Damon would have chased after them if not for the glare that promised agonizing pain and a slow death that his brother threw at him. He stood frozen for a while before he fished his phone out of his pocket to call the gang, it seems there were more players in the game. They had to prepare and gather information on the new girl, whoever she is she’s important to Stefan and they could use that. Stefan has proven that he doesn’t care what happens to Elena or anybody other than the Originals and they can’t do anything to harm them. A human girl though, that opens possibilities and with how Stefan reacted to him just touching her it speaks volumes of what his little brother would do for her. Though it does bring up the question: when did his little brother turn his humanity back on to care enough for her?

Stefan ran as fast as he could, mindful of Hailey carrying precious cargo. He ran until he was in front of Klaus’s mansion, only then he felt secure enough to gently set her down on her feet. She was staring at him in shock, it took him a moment before he realized he never told her about him being a vampire. While he was contemplating of what to say he couldn’t help but notice the differences in her body because of her pregnancy. Her bust and waist were slightly bigger both changes were her body preparing for motherhood. She looked a lot happier compared to when they first met, she was wearing battered clothes he assumed were caused by the car crash she was in but now she was wearing a white summer dress that reached just above her knees with a blue floral pattern and a unique family crest necklace. Everything else seemed to have stayed the same and her scent if anything was even more intoxicating. He was starting to drool before he shacked the thoughts from his head, it wasn’t the proper time to drool over his goddess. His goddess…he had reacted without thinking but what could he do, Damon had put his unworthy hands on his mate and Stefan’s vampire had lost it for a split second. The only reason Damon wasn’t in shreds was because he didn’t want to frighten Hailey. With his thoughts gathered he looked up to Hailey’s face and she had an expectant expression, it made him love her a little more because she was giving him a chance even after everything.

While Stefan was thinking she was doing an analysis of her own. He had gotten a bit more defined, she could feel him under his clothes while he was carrying her. He wasn’t wearing a jacket like last time but that was probably due to the summer heat and he had replaced his ring with a smaller version. But other than that he was still a walking Adonis who she wouldn’t mind giving a few more kids to. She shook the thoughts from her head, she just gave birth to two beautiful boys and she doesn’t even know if she could have more. She wanted to tell Stefan everything; her origins to how the babies were his. But she would wait as it looks like he needs to tell her everything as well. She looked at him and hope her face showed that she was willing to listen in return she was rewarded with that knee weakening smile of his.

“Heeeeyy…so I guess I have some explaining to do.”,he said with an awkward grin.

“Ya think!”, she said incredulous and with an arched brow. He was happy to hear her voice again and almost dazed out before snapping himself back.

“Okay so…that guy that was bothering you was my brother Damon and the reason I could go so fast is because-“, he was cut off by Hailey.

“Because your a vampire, yes Stefan I know continue.”, he was shocked.

“Wait how do you know?!”, looks like he wasn’t the only one with secrets.

“I’ll answer when you tell me everything. You tell me your REAL story and I’ll share mine.”, he was still a little anxious to tell her, what if she never wanted to see him again, would she just leave with her babies? She saw Stefan’s face and noticed him flicking his fingers, a nervous tick. She was quick to reaffirm him.

“Stefan look I know we didn’t get a lot of time to know each other better but I know we connected. I want you to know that I won’t just leave…not after I just found you again.”, she said leaving herself open and vulnerable. Stefan stared at her for a moment then down to the boys. He gained an expression that she couldn’t decipher but he nodded nonetheless.

“Okay. So I’m 163 years old but I’ve stayed seventeen. I was turned in 1864 when my father had shot both me and my brother in order to stop us from becoming vampires. He had actually triggered the transition, my brother had willingly drunk human blood afterwards to complete it. The woman who we thought we loved is a vampire and gave us blood. But I didn’t want to be a vampire so I went to my father to visit him one last time before I died and he ended up trying to stake me. However he ended up staking himself and triggered my blood lust. My brother then promised me an eternity of misery because I had not only killed our father but the woman he turned for ended up picking me despite me never wanting her. Everything I ever felt for her, she forced as she was compelling me. She still a nuisance to this day and I’m reminded of her every time I see my ex, they’re doppelgängers.”, to say Hailey was infuriated would be an understatement! How dare that arrogant git cause his little brother so much misery and how dare he take his anger of his woman being unfaithful in his brother?! Next time she sees him he’ll be wishing that he had stayed human to have not met her! Seeing Hailey getting angry made him nervous but he went on with his tale.

“Which plays another huge component to now. You see with vampires it had started because of a witch a thousand years ago was in mourning of losing her youngest son to werewolves. She wanted a way for her family to defend themselves from them one thing led to another and vampires came to existence.”, he was going to continue when suddenly one of the babies had started to fuss. Hailey looked at him apologetically before moving to take the baby out. Hailey knew that cry, seems Cedar was getting hungry in the middle of his daddy’s story time. She stopped once she realized that she would need to put Caelan down, she looked to Stefan and he looked a bit panicked at Cedar crying. Well hopefully he won’t mind holding Caelan while she fed Cedar.

“Stefan could you hold him for a sec. I gotta feed his brother.”, she didn’t give Stefan time to reply as she had Caelan already leaning on his chest.

“Now just put your hand on his bottom and keep you hand on his back to hold him.”, Stefan had done as she told him but he was slightly worried about accidentally hurting the little one. He started to internally panic when the little guy looked up from his chest. Caelan didn’t know the man holding him and assessed him before he decided whether he’ll cry to go back to momma. His scent was soothing and familiar, when he looked up he could recognize that this was his daddy so he laid his head back down to take his nap. Stefan relaxed as the baby was okay with being held by him he looked to Hailey to ask about the babies but then promptly looked away when he noticed her breastfeeding. He doesn’t know if it was okay to look but he doesn’t want to accidentally offend her. She looked up and smirked at Stefan’s flustered face, she didn’t like seeing Stefan in distress and while him telling her everything was necessary it still made her a bit sad, so it made her happy she could distract him for a while.

“Stefan it’s okay to look, he’s just eating.”, she said with a small chuckle.

“R-right, umm I was just wondering what are the little guy’s names and…please just answer this and…I’msorryifthisoffendsyoubutaretheymine?!”, he just needed to know because as he got a closer look at the little guy he noticed the similar features and scents that came from both babies. Hailey looked nervous to answer which made his heart wrench at the thought of him not being the father.

“I don’t know if you can believe me Stefan as you haven’t heard my story yet but…yes these two are yours.”, she didn’t want to see Stefan angry but she was surprised when she felt his hand cupping her cheek. She looked up and saw Stefan had an elated smile on his face with tears threatening to fall. Stefan couldn’t hide how happy he was, he was quick to assure her that he indeed believed her. You couldn’t lie to a vampire especially about something like this. He looked to both babies with glee, he thought he had lost his chance to have a family but Hailey was able to give him one, he couldn’t be happier. He looked at the baby she was feeding and noticed his ring was on her wedding finger, he blushed but looked to her in question which led to her blushing.

“Let me answer your other question first. The one your holding is Caelan James Salvatore-Potter and this one here is Cedar Sirius Salvatore-Potter. I hope you don’t mind me giving them your name but-“, she was cut off with a gentle kiss. Stefan broke it and looked with her with an adoring gaze.

“Thank you, Hailey.”, his earnest reaction caused her to blush. But he took her hand that had his ring on her finger and looked back at her questionably with a flustered smile. She looked back to him with a mischievous smile.

“That one is a little more difficult to explain without telling you everything. Sooo…your just gonna have to wait until yours is done.”, she said and smiled a bit more genuinely when Stefan had pouted at her response. Cedar was done eating so they were able to settle the boys back into the carrier. Stefan decided to move them into the mansion, he took a quick look around and it was empty besides a few hybrids that had orders to let Stefan be. He led them to the living room and Hailey sat down on the loveseat with Stefan automatically sitting next to her. He started where he left off.

“Back then there was a brother in the Originals that was different then his siblings. He was the child born out of the affair between the witch and a werewolf. This wasn’t discovered until one fateful night when the son had taken away his first life. Making him the Original Hybrid, Niklaus Mikaelson. When a person is born with a werewolf gene in order to activate the curse they need to kill somebody and the gene can only be passed from parent to child. The father was mad at the witch and threatened to leave unless she was to find a way to get rid of the wolf in him. To him this had angered him so much as she was essentially locking a part of him away, always feeling it just out of reach but never able to access. The only way to break it was to use to use the blood of a human doppelgänger. Which brings us to modern times. My ex, Elena, is the doppelgänger that Klaus needed to finally break his curse.”, Stefan couldn’t hide the exasperated tone, thinking about the whole ordeal made his head ache. At least it was over with…for the most part at least. Hailey could see how tired Stefan looked when he mentioned this and rubbed his shoulder in sympathy. He gave her a grateful smile.

“In the end Klaus finally got what he always wanted. But then Damon had to go and do something reckless and got bit by a wolf, death was imminent but there was one thing that could save him. Now I have long known that my brother wasn’t…the best but until I met you I hadn’t realized how bad it was. The only cure was the blood of a hybrid and the only one in existence had requested only two things: my allegiance and for me to turn off my humanity. Only without my humanity and with you I was able to see that I shouldn’t just forgive Damon just because he was brother. You didn’t force me to get along with him because he was my family. You made me realize that I had a better brother right next to me who wasn’t even connected to me by blood. Now Klaus had one other dream, he didn’t want to be alone. He had been the only one of his kind and he was tired of it so he sent me out to find a solution.”, he thinks back to the night they met and he couldn’t fight the blush that covers his face or the goofy grin. Hailey saw this and flushed and nudged him to continue.

“That’s how we met, now everything is working in Klaus’s favor as he’s no longer alone. And now I’ve found you again but…there will still be problems because my brother has never been one to accept things as they are if it wasn’t how he wanted it. And he definitely didn’t want Klaus to have his way.”, earlier amusement gone. Stefan did it he explained his entire story to Hailey, he felt so relieved that he could feel tears start to build up in his eyes. He knew how vicious his brother can be and how little he cares that it would break Stefan to see her hurt, all he cared about was how he could use her to get Stefan to obey. Hailey noticed the tears and reacted without thinking to help. She put her hands on his nape and brought their foreheads together, it caused them to close their eyes and think back on everything.

Stefan opened his eyes and gave a silent thank you along with a loving forehead kiss. Feeling a bit more better he dropped a kiss on his sons heads as well…his sons it was still something that he was marveling at. He hopes that Hailey will be able to help explain how they came to be. She took a deep breath and he squeezed her hand in hopes of comfort, he situated them were he’s in the corner of the loveseat with her and the babies were between his legs with her back against his chest. She leaned her head back on his chest and smiled up at him in thanks. She started her story.

“I was born to loving parents that were apart of a secret society filled with everything and anything magical but hidden away from everyone else. Our world while similar to yours, has…just more of everything and we live separately from the normal world. We have our own currency, governments, society, and business. At the time of my birth there was a war happening, a war surrounding the propaganda of whether those who are the first in their family to have magic are inferior or on par with those that come from a long descent of magic users. My mother was the first in her family and my father came from a long line of magic making me a half blood. However my parents died at the hands of a powerful wizard that was the head of the ‘dark’ side when I was a baby. I was supposed to die as well but my mother was able to sacrifice herself to save me, so when he tried to kill me it rebounded and killed him. I went down in history to be the first to live the killing curse and to defeat a dark lord as an infant, the named me the ‘Girl-Who-Lived’. I wouldn’t be aware of any of this as when my parents died they had placed me with my mother’s sister, who loathes anything abnormal including me. For the first eleven years of my life my room was a cupboard under the stairs and went without knowing my true story or heritage. One fateful night I had turned eleven deeming me old enough to go back to the magic society to learn magic. I thought that it was the happiest day of my life but it was replaced a few years later.”, she said while looking down at Cedar and Caelan.

Stefan couldn’t help but smile at her. His mind was reeling about there being an entire world that he didn’t know about and the Originals likely don’t either. But he thought back to her comment about her maternal family and his blood was boiling. He didn’t care if they were family, they caused her so much pain and neglect as far as he’s concerned they’re going to wish he never learned of their existence. Seeing as how Stefan was getting angry she moved on, she read about vampires being very unpredictable when concerning their mates. She’s worried about how he’ll react to her school adventures when she’ll have time to tell him more in depth.

“My school years were in short magical. But as I said I was considered very famous, it didn’t change once I got to school. I was accepted into Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I was put into a sorting and came out as everyone expected. Every year since I was eleven I had to avoid life threatening situations, I had secrets kept from me, I was constantly having to find a way to keep me and my friends alive, and I had to put up with everyone gossiping and having expectations of me. I was able to build my own makeshift family with the few friends I could make. The life threats always had one thing in common, they were to bring the Dark Lord back and it did.”, she gained a very dark look that it made Stefan worry for what could have happened to her. But he let her collect her thought so he could do the same, what kind of school let children fight for their life?! If she was gathering so much attention why didn’t anyone notice when her and her friends lives were in danger constantly, why didn’t anyone try to help?! He broke his train of thought when she began again, but he started hugging her around her waist when he noticed her eyes become misty. Thinking of the war will always bring dark memories.

“He came back when I was fourteen and I had witnessed him taking the life of a friend. The ministry didn’t want to admit it they called me a liar, so we were left on our own to protect ourselves. Even at that a lot of people on our side had left it up to us, just kids really, to fight the war. When I was fifteen I lost my godfather to battle, I was so enraged that I had ended up lethally injuring six of the twelve soldiers of the Dark Lord. My brother, Ron, and my sister, Hermione, where able to calm me down some but not enough to stop me from hunting down the woman responsible. Soon after the real war broke out and we were on the run. We fought from the shadows and did our missions to ensure the fall of the Dark Lord. I had defeated him in a duel that led to his death and soon his entire side had crumbled. A series of events that happened in the war including my brief death, but came back to life and also became what is known as the Mistress of Death. I had found that out the day the war was over, the same day we met. With my kind we experience accidental bouts of magic when our emotions are very overwhelming. When learning about my new title I had accidentally transported myself from Scotland to America. Then you found me.”, she said with a sheepish smile. Stefan just gaped at her, is it normal for them to be able to teleport to a different continent?! He wonders if the boys will inherit that amount of power?

“I had a dream that night. Death itself came to me and had explained that we had completed a very old prophecy. I, the Mistress of Death, and you, a Creature of Death, had accomplished in making the Heir to Death.”, she said with an impish smile. With her story finished she knows he’ll have questions and no doubt he starts spouting off.

“Was everything okay? Where you in pain? How long did the pregnancy last? When did you find out about them being twins? Will me being a vampire be a problem for them? What about-“, he was cut off when she put her hand on his mouth with an smile on her face. She understands that he has questions but she knew to cut him off before she forgets to answer the first few.

“Everything was fine. The only pain I was in was when the boys would kick as they are stronger than a normal baby. The pregnancy was supposed to last about 3 months but with me having twins I delivered two weeks early. I found out when I noticed that I had to push out another baby, my kind’s magic does not react well with technology and I was having trouble controlling mine so I couldn’t go to a doctor. My world would be in a frenzy if they found out their savior had children out of wedlock, halfbreeds at that.”, at her response he calmed down some but his face hardened at hearing about her world not being accepting of his sons.

“Are you telling me your world would have done something to the boys? Just because a vampire is their father?”, he said with his vampire face coming out. It seems he’s already grown overprotective of the boys. She couldn’t help but take note of his face being the same as Caelan when he had shown his for the first time. And while he is right she needs to make sure he understands a very important detail.

“Stefan…with you being their father it does make things more difficult for them. My world sees creatures as inferior and back home we are trying to fix it and ban the laws that they placed on halfbreeds. But with me as a mother they were always going to have a target on their back. I am the sole heir to two very powerful families and my government wants control over who I marry to ensure that my heir would be easy to manipulate. Not to mention there is still some of the Dark Lord’s followers out there and…I can’t even bare the thought that the boys could get hurt over what I had to do. I did the selfish thing and kept our boys with me.”, she started to cry over the thought alone. She was selfish and had only thought about getting what she wanted and didn’t think of what her sons could go through. Her crying had woken up the boys and they were not happy to see their mama crying so they started cooing and making little noises to get her attention and Stefan noticed as well what his sons were trying to accomplish. He repositioned all of them so that Hailey would be sitting on his lap with the boys still strapped to her. Hailey finally noticed her boys trying to get her attention, when she looked down at them they both had smiled up at her. She turned to Stefan to see him staring at the three of them in adoration. He reached up to cup her cheek.

“Never think that you wanting a family is you being selfish. And if it is I’m overjoyed that you chose to be selfish because it gave me a gift that I thought I would never be able to receive let alone deserve to get. We’re going to keep the boys safe, we’re going to do right by them. Because we both came from families that could have been better but we know what they are going to want and need. And I hope that you get that when I say ‘we’ it means that I’m going to be there with you every step of the way.”, he said hugging her close to him in an almost painful hold but to Hailey it was an embrace filled with love and ensured her that he was there. Wanting to break the tension she took his hand into her own, her hand that had his ring on her finger. He noticed and again gave a teasing look with a brow arched. At this point Stefan thinks that she just put in on her finger to keep guys from flirting with her. He won’t lie, the thought of her wearing an actual engagement ring given from him got his blood pumping south but he shook his head, again not the time for his vampire or him to get aroused from having something on her that would prove that she wasn’t on the market. He thought he was right when she started to flush. But her response shocked him still for a while.

“Well, the night we…made the boys was also the night that we apparently got…married?”, he was looking at her gobsmacked hoping that what she was saying was true but still hoping that she could explain it a little more.

“It was registered by the bank of my world. It is run by creatures and they view mating to be similar and as sacred as marriage. So we’re mated and unknowingly in the eyes of my government we are married. Which if they did know they would shit themselves because they wouldn’t be able to declare that the boys can’t inherit my names. They are legally able to inherit everything once they come of age as not only are they sole heirs but they are legitimate ones.”, she said this in a faux nonchalance as she did not know how Stefan would react. She was surprised by the almost hysterical giggle that came from him followed by an actual hysterical laugh.

“Anything else I should be made aware then my lovely wife?!”, he said trying to cope with the amount of happiness surging through him. Damon had made a vow to make him miserable and his life before Hailey has been so. He has never felt so overwhelmed with happiness that he didn’t know how to react to him being a father and having a wife, his seemingly impossible dream coming true.

“Well I named the boys because of the…other titles they would inherit. I’m the Mistress of Death…and Magic’s Chosen. Caelan meaning eternal warrior, he’s the Heir to Death. And Cedar’s name means a magical wood because he’s the Heir to Magic. Also I didn’t come alone, I brought some of my family, including my werewolf uncle.”, she said tentatively. Stefan just sat there until he smashed their lips together in a surprising and passionate kiss that she slowly melted into. When they pulled apart he had a goofy smile on that matched her own.

“Things are never going to be quiet around here with you then, huh? For you and with you I’ll be happy to be there in all the noise.”, he said. He looked to her then down to the boys in a loving gaze. Then he heard an adorable noise come from Hailey, her stomach was growling. He looked up to her and her face was scarlet. “How about we go into town to get something to eat. You and I can consider it our first date.”, he added sheepishly and turned beaming when she nodded with her own beaming grin. The got up and left the mansion and made their way to a little place called the Mystic Grill. Stefan had insisted on holding the baby bag for Hailey as she was already holding the boys. She had the boys to her chest and was securing them with one arm while holding hands with Stefan while he used his other arm to hold the baby bag. They made quite the image for the small town, gossipy townspeople we’re coming up with all sorts of theories. Young women and men had all started mourning at the loss of some of Mystic Fall’s most good looking residents.

The family continued their journey for food ignoring it all. Once they got to the Grill the boys started to pick up a fuss at being hungry, since she had already fed Cedar she was…empty…so she planned to use the bottles for the first time. She and Stefan sat at a table for two and she put the bag on the table and took out the ‘special’ bottles for the boys, already had her milk and the donated blood in. She hoped the boys like the mixture and would take to the bottles well. She unstrapped the boys from her and gave Cedar to Stefan, who was still a bit cautious at holding something so precious and small. She took one bottle and gently placed it in Caelan’s mouth, he was eating like there was no tomorrow and gave appreciative coos. Stefan copied her actions and Cedar exactly like his brother was happy with the mixture. The new parents were in their own world before it burst when a suspicious and gobsmacked Jeremy Gilbert came to take their order. With their order taken Stefan had finally noticed all the attention that they were getting and grew furious when he saw males casting leering and lingering gazes at Hailey. He also noticed Matt and Jeremy staring at them distrustfully, he felt his vampire snarl at them for sending the same looks to Hailey. He carefully scooted his chair next to hers and was internally gleeful when she laid her head on his shoulder.

It proved that they were together and it also helped in soothing his protective instinct. But no sooner as they had finally started to relax the door had burst open. Damon, Elena, and the rest of the gang had decided to come. Damon sneered in their direction. And Elena had looked on in jealousy. Hailey was getting uncomfortable with their stares and turned to Stefan more which just caused the looks to intensify. With Hailey practically tucked into Stefan with both of them with a baby in their arms they made quite the picture when Rebekah and Klaus came in.

Chapter 18

Immortal Dilemmas

There wasn't any time to spare, their sister had to be warned about what had been tried to be passed for a law. The elections for the minister of magic had been running slowly, everyone was hesitant to show trust and faith in the system that was once so corrupt. The one candidate that the family is hoping to win is Kingsley Shacklebolt, a comrade in arms that had a sense of what was right. They didn't have to worry about him falling into someone's pockets. He's in the lead due to the family openly supporting him. However, there was one candidate that they were absolutely sure needed to be thrown into Azkaban, Perseus Parkinson. The Parkinson family had been allied with the Malfoy family for generations and it was widely known. The only reason that he was not a convicted death eater was that he wasn't deemed worthy enough to be one. Though his blood was pure, his core was weak, abilities near a squib. Pansy was lucky to have been deemed enough magic to enter Hogwarts. The man spouted off nonsense about him being a representative of keeping traditions alive. What was wrong was that he was trying to pass a law stating that it was required for witches and wizards, 16 and older, to be entered into a courtship that promised marriage or a marriage contract. To 'ensure' that there would be enough children to start the next generation and make up for all the lives lost in the last two wars, if a wizard or witch does not already have a spouse then the ministry will try to match them up. The family knew that the law was total bullshit. Thankfully, with Hailey being mated and married the law didn't affect her. But it did come out to the public that their "Chosen One" was wedded and they demanded answers. The family remembered with a scowl what brought them to having to warn their darling lioness.

 ~Flashback~

 The wizarding courtroom was usually a place of law and Order, but the scene unfolding was just plainly a screaming match. Kingsley was on one side with the order behind him along with the majority of the Wizengamot. Behind in parallel to him was a pug-faced man who could be no one else but Perseus Parkinson. Both were in the required, maroon-sanctioned robes of the court. Kingsley was keeping his head and showing a cool and calm face as one would expect with a parent scolding their child. Parkinson was the child, red in the face while making his point heard all over Britain. Behind him were what was remaining of the "dark faction", most were widowers or eldest sons that inherited the titles of the lord of their family through their Death Eater family member. Many of the young on this side were hesitant to be there but had no clue where else to go, they felt they would just be shunned if they turned to the 'light' but if they stayed in the 'dark', they would be playing a losing game. 

 "Magic must be preserved! There are limited solutions to how we can solve our dwindling population. It must be done every one of magic must marry and conceive to bring along the next generation. We have to make up for all that was lost from the wars!"

 "Forcing people to go along with your old ways is no way to solve that! People should have the choice of deciding who they are to marry and not be forced to make such decisions because it is required! We just survived a war for Merlin's sake, you will not force your ideals onto the people of Magical Britain!"

 "My beliefs aside there is not much else that can be done to solve the dwindling numbers of our community. Family lines are going to go dead if not done. Magic that comes from witches or wizards like Hailey Potter must be passed on to ensure our future!"

 "I advise you to keep our savior out of this! She has done enough for us, and we cannot expect her to do more! Especially to take part in such a farce of law!"

"Who else but she can lead us, who else but her can help make future generations? Her parents were exceptional in power, they got married and produced an heir of the highest caliber! Imagine what children she could produce with the right wizard! That child then can ensure that magic lives on!" 

 "I'm afraid~", a goblin, Griphook, that represented Gringotts had piped up. Might as well tell the fool why even if the law were to get miraculously passed, there was no chance they would be able to pair off Hailey Potter. "Even If you were to pass that 'law' Miss Potter would not fall into that jurisdiction."

 "Make your reason known! Why would she not?!", this can't happen Lucius was willing to overlook all the money that Parkinson owed him if he was able to become Minister or at least get the law passed. If he can't, he could wish his already crumbling estate goodbye. The Parkinsons owe the Malfoys more money than they have in their vaults, if he didn't win the election or get the law passed his family will have to give up their titles and vaults. Even then it wouldn't be enough to cover everything, and the Parkinson family would become magic-bound servants to pay off whatever was left. Griphook sneered at the desperation that the wizard was oozing, hysteria was also making itself known.

"To simply put, Hailey Potter is no longer eligible to become a bride to anyone. She has been bonded and mated for quite a few months now. Strange how you wizards only care for her condition and status when she could be used in your favor.", a string of gasps was let out through the courtroom. Mated?! But mating would imply that their savior had bonded with a creature! Mostly out of surprise from the 'light' side. Though there were a few young lords distressed about losing a chance with Lady Potter.

 "How dare you speak such lies! A respectable witch would never stoop so low as to 'mate'-", this was possibly worse than he could imagine. The reason why the 'dark' section was so against mating was that a mating bond meant that even if one-half of the pair was killed the other half would never want anyone else. They would only ever want their 'mate'. There was no way of conning a respectable witch to marry a proper wizard after killing off her 'mate'. The same as luring back a proper wizard to marry a respectable witch. If the mating case is true, he was so screwed. No, he cannot accept this. He was about to voice as such but was cut off by his competitor.

 "TAKE CARE OF HOW YOU SPEAK!! Mating has been an honored ritual for creatures that have for too long been seen as nothing of importance by like-minded individuals such as yourself! In case you are suffering from some sort of obliviating spell, allow me to remind you of how the Dark Lord was able to pull so many 'dark' creatures into his clutches.", Kingsley was often disgusted by how his kind would treat a mating bond. To him you marry/bond/mate to whoever you loved, the dark section believed that marriage was simply a tool to be used to better your family who cares about what feelings happen between the pair as long as an heir can be produced to carry the line. It was also due to the constant fear of what they couldn't understand that made them orchestrate creatures. The creatures there to represent their kind turned from sneering at Parkinson to showing mildly impressed faces towards Kingsley.

 "He lured them with power, that's all those foul-", Parkinson did not get to finish as he had to duck a spell shot from the light section. Ginny Weasley had to rub her shoulder as her mother had smacked it but shared a silent high-five with her brothers. It caused Aurors to chuckle and not even attempt to look for the culprit and glare at the ones that tried to step forward to look. Parkinson sent a glare and waved them off. He looked pointedly at Kingsley to get on with it.

 "He promised them equality, he promised the creatures that they and their mates would never have to fear of being hunted, separated, or used! Our world did everything to oppress those poor creatures and that's exactly what caused them to go over to him. We constantly talk of hiding from muggles because of how they treated us for being different than them, for having abilities that they did not possess, and because we had different traditions than they did.", how dare this little upstart bring muggles into this and how dare he compare their ancestors' pain to that of some lowly creature!

"THEY BURNED US AT THE STAKE THOSE CREATURES SHOULD BE THANKFUL!!", people were sure that if there weren't wards to prevent outsiders from listening, Diagon Alley would be hearing the screaming match.

"THANKFUL FOR US DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS TO WHAT THE MUGGLES DID TO US !??!", many gasps occurred again at the revelation.

 "WE SHOULD HAVE BANDED TOGETHER TO MAKE A BETTER WORLD BUT INSTEAD WE DID AS THE MUGGLES DID TO US PERHAPS EVEN WORSE. We gave them a glimmer of hope that we could all coexist peacefully after evading the muggles, only for us to stomp on it and give them a stack of laws to limit them. We need to change; we have stayed the same for far too long and if it doesn't, I fear that we will just be repeating the same miserable pattern."

 "Be that as it may a creature mating with our savior could have no possible fruitful outcome, tell us Goblin what is the status of the supposed mate of Hailey Potter?", even if she is mated what matters if the young Malfoy provides her an heir, though the heir will not be widely accepted as it will not be made from marriage vows. He just needs to know if the creature is a weak one, but knowing Potter there is no chance that the fates would deem a weakling worthy of her.

 " A vampire.", Griphook replied. You could hear a pin drop in the room from how quiet it became and all of a sudden movement came to a large boom.

 "VAMPIRE!!!", it was as if the courtroom had spoken as a unit. Yells, whispers, and murmurs were taking up the courtroom. It was becoming too much until Amelia Bones rose with her wand to her neck casting a sonorous spell.

 "ORDER, WE WILL HAVE ORDER", it started to quiet down then Amelia asked respectfully to the goblin which did earn her a respected look. "Master Teller, is there anything about the state of Hailey Potter that should be known to this court?", the court did not need to know that Miss Potter had moved to America most likely in alignment with her magic to find her mate, even if unknowingly.

 "As it is I have already delivered information that this court has no business of knowing Miss Potter has done enough for this world, how she spends her days is her business.", he said with a slight sneer towards the 'dark' fraction. He had no clue why wizards insisted to label things. Parkinson seemed to have snapped out of his daze and started demanding answers and swaying some to his side.

 "HOW ARE WE TO GAIN ANOTHER HERO IF OUR SAVIOR CAN NOT PRODUCE AN HEIR ??!!", some gaped at his audacity to try and use their savior, but a few sheep could not help but murmur agreement. The Weasley boys in attendance had a look of fury on their faces and Ginny looked ready to claw his eyes out. Kingsley went to calm the masses.

 "That is not an issue whatsoever-", he was interrupted by one of the neutral lords.

 "I am sorry Kingsley, but it does pose a problem. What will become of the Potter and Black titles? Surely Miss Potter will want to hand them down one day? She often spoke of having a family and being with a vampire leaves very little chance of that happening. I even dare say that it's not even allowed.", he had the sense to look bothered by what he was saying but it was true, it was currently against the law to produce a halfling. And those that were produced were mistreated, it was no way to treat the offspring of their hero. Kingsley didn't waste time making a case. Hailey needed the law to be passed, those boys are everything to her.

 "Not if we change the laws! Who are we to say that a woman must rid herself of her child just because we fear the unknown? If we banish those laws, we can ensure that Miss Potter has at least one less thing to worry about when concerning making her family. We owe her that much.", the members of the jury looked side to side with each other before Amelia Bones came to stand and with her a piece of parchment to say which laws will be instated. Before she could say anything there was a change that no one was expecting to come from the courtroom that day. Nearly every newly appointed Lord and Ladies had moved from the 'dark' section to the neutral, it seemed Kingsley's words encouraged some change. Widows were looking at the young nobles in betrayal, but they refused to budge, it was time for a change. Their fathers and mothers had paid the price for their ways in no way were they to try and follow the same path.

 "We, the Wizengamont, do declare that halflings no longer are a forbidden race so we say it so mote it be. We do declare that laws over all creatures will be reevaluated to ensure tranquility, so we say it so mote it be. We do declare that bonding and mating are on the equivalence of marriage, so we say it so mote it be.", the scene was that of utter tranquility as magic had registered it and let the room give off a faint white glow until Parkinson disrupted it by crashing the courtroom doors open. At that, the order had joined together each silently cheering for the victory. No one had noticed that a beetle had flown out of the courtroom, they wouldn't have a clue until the next morning.

 Arthur was eating breakfast with his family and enjoying the chatter going around. The children wanted to head to America to inform Hailey of the wonderful news but as he was drinking his coffee, he read the Prophet. He spurted the contents out to the side and his family looked up at him in surprise and then shock at his next words. "THAT BLOODY SKEETER, JUST WHO THE HELL DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?!!", he said in a rage, it was very rare to see the Weasley Patriarch this upset.

 "Arthur!", Molly was about to ask what in merlin was wrong when he turned the paper around for the whole family to see the headline.

" SAVIOUR OFF THE MARKET?", the men of the family looked at the paper with fury as the women decided to read it despite being engulfed in rage. ' You heard it here my faithful readers it would seem Lady Potter is no longer on the market; it would seem that she was not swept off her feet like any respectable lady, but she had instead eloped and with a creature no less! This just in Lady Potter has been deemed mated to not just any sort of creature, but a dark one! A vampire! What does this entail for the future of the Wizarding World? It would have been deemed that Lady Potter is not allowed to have children with her mate, however, the Wizengmont wouldn't dare go against Lady Potter. Sources say, "I for one think it's blasphemous, a respectable Lady should be wed to a wizard, not some creature!" Others, " Love is love, it does not matter who or what they are as long as both are consensual and hold love for each other there is nothing wrong with the relationship presented, we owe it to Lady Potter to let her live as she wants." The wizarding world will be split but what side is correct, read more to find out!" At the bottom of the page is what also got the family's vision to be tinted with blood, "Read more on Page 4 to know about the scandalous history of Lady Potter with Heir Malfoy", that bloody Skeeter!! Arthur was trembling with rage that it was decided that Percy would be the one to read that section as he was very begrudgingly the only levelheaded one in the room. He read out loud with venom lacing his words, it surprised his family to hear him so upset, but then again this was their honorary sister and daughter.

"Lord Malfoy has recently come out with a statement regarding the ordeal over Lady Potter's new marital status, "It is completely inappropriate as she and my son, Draco, were to be wed in this year's time. They had an official courtship during their last few years at Hogwarts, how else do you explain Draco's willingness to risk his own life to help her? Draco is, of course, refuting to hide his pain over her leaving him for some eternal creature.", does Lord Malfoy speak the truth, this reporter will find out, whatever it takes we shall know the true Lady Potter.", in his head, Percy had come up with at least seven different ways of how to rid the Malfoy family of their lord, how dare that foul upstart to speak such lies about their sister. Anyone with half a brain should know that there is absolutely no chance that Malfoy and Hailey could feel anything than friendship toward each other. And bloody Skeeter! What right does that woman have to display Hailey's business out to the public and try to paint her as some Scarlett woman?! This would not do, they had to move it was due time for a visit, they hadn't seen their family members in nearly two months. Perfect time to kill two birds with the stone, or something along those lines. The family started conversing over the next steps of what to do not knowing that there was an eavesdropping charm that was placed on Arthur by the one and only... Perseus Parkinson.

~End Flashback~

When the family arrived, they were met with growling and surprised yelps before the magicals of the house came down to calm the situation. Apparently, Hailey had decided to house some...hybrids? And they finally got to meet the man that had knocked up their precious Hailey. At this thought passing through the family's head, Stefan felt a chill go up his spine. He looked to his new brothers to see them all grinning in an understanding of what had to be done with Stefan. Hailey had a lot of brothers; it came with the territory to get the shovel talk.

"So... you're Stefan?", Bill had asked once all the men had managed to drag him into a parlor room, pretty easy since Hailey was so excited to see the girls and they all decided to take a quick shopping trip with some coaxing from Fleur and Rebecca it was almost scary. Bill, along with the other Weasley men were intimidating. Along with what he's heard from his wife, they were not people to trifle with, Bill worked with ancient, nearly unhealable curses. Charlie worked with Dragons and had a very large build. Percy reminded him somewhat of Elijah, but he knew while he could be made an ally would likely not hesitate in causing harm. The twins very much reminded him of his new older brother Kol, the manic gleam in their eyes worried him. He was hoping to get some sort of protection from Ron or Remus, but they were leaning on the back wall with their arms crossed, an amused grins plastered on their faces, along with Arthur, the brood's father. He was shocked when Billy got rid of his grim face and placed a smirk on. He put his arm around Stefan's shoulders and led him to the one couch in the room. "Listen, mate, I have a creature beloved as well. I know that you would never EVER try to hurt Hailey willingly. Right?", the rest of the brood followed Bill's example of leaving their tense stances.

"I would rather scarf down vervain in sunlight than ever try to hurt Hailey.", Stefan stated in a no-nonsense kind of tone. The family looked pleased with his answer. They knew that a creature bond was sacred and that giving a shovel talk to Stefan would be disrespectful, especially as he was a vampire.

"And we know that, listen Hailey is the most wonderful girl we know. And we are not the only ones to notice this. What we want you to understand is that where we're from she is highly sought after not only for her looks but also for her high standing, we need to know if you are willing to do whatever it takes to keep her happy with you. She would do the same. Even if it means some blood on your hands.", Stefan felt his vampire rage over his mate being lusted after and wanted to shred anybody who dared to want to use her.

"I am hers just as she is mine, anybody that tries to take her will know that. I have no regrets in having to get my hands dirty over someone who dared to try and do so.", he was barely keeping the growling and hissing from his voice. He was met with warm smiles, the brood parted away as their Father came to shake Stefan's hand.

"Welcome to the family, son.", a golden glow emitted from their hands similar to what he remembered happened when Hailey and Klaus made those vows. He felt warm and oddly giddy. His brothers had busted in, and he was surprised to see Elijah and Finn holding his sons who were fussing and trying to squirm toward him, despite being two months old and told that they would age like normal kids he still felt his boys were growing too fast.

"My look how big they've gotten! I can see Hailey here and there, especially in Cedar. But Caelan definitely takes after his father.", Stefan went to his brothers as the panicked look on their faces was growing. He took the boys, and they stopped fussing. They must have just wanted him as their mommy had been taken hostage by her sisters. Stefan looked around to notice that the family was looking at him handle the boys. They all looked mildly proud and silently awed at the adorable picture Stefan made. Some of the Hybrids had decided to peek in and Stefan gave them a small smile. Stefan took in how much his family has grown, for so long he had felt so lonely. His only family hated him and there was no way for him to create his own. Since Hailey, he has never felt so complete. Every time he thinks of how she had unknowingly brought peace to his life he fills with warmth. She and he had certainly created a large family.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unfortunately, unwanted forces were brewing. Parkinson had been able to get a lock in where the Weasleys had portkeyed. He was not going to leave this foul country until Potter became wed to Draco! He had brought Lucius along to assure it. Lucius, as a lord had forced Draco to stay locked in Malfoy Manor to stop him from interfering, the brat should be thankful for their dedication to providing him with a worthy bride. Narcissa while reluctant, stayed to watch Draco to ensure he wouldn't try to pull anything. Potter should be thankful that a pureblooded family was willing to take her in despite her foul half-blood status. Her father was a sore point to many of the wizards in their faction, he was a highly sought-after pureblood. Even Parkinson's wife had sent him a marriage contract only for her and others as well to take a hit in their pride when he decided to court a mudblood. The memories this brought were certainly taking hits to his pride. All they needed to do was lay low and perhaps imperious Potter to leave that creature for a proper wizard, such as Draco. They were discussing what exactly they should do when they were approached by some muggle, how she noticed them is unknown as they had placed 'Notice Me Not' spells. She had pale skin and hair that made Parkinson believe that she would have done well in impersonating a Malfoy.

"I believe gentleman that we both have a similar goal. I cannot do my noble work with the witch you want here, and you wish to take her away, shall we talk more in private?", she piqued their interest. Esther smiled sinisterly, as soon as that freak of nature left, she would be free to carry out as nature intended.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They were not the only unwanted visitors, but another made herself known. Stefan decided that the boys should get a little outing and it was always amusing to see how people reacted to his usual cool facade brother's break face when his sons decided to look at them. He was enjoying his time at the park with everyone, Hailey had texted him saying that they would head over as soon as possible, and Rebekka had gotten the boys some clothes that she wanted to do a miniature photoshoot since they were at the park. His brothers went to go pick up the girls and they headed towards a very open field park. He chuckled and looked over to his brother in laws having tummy time with the boys on a wool blanket that they brought. When he suddenly felt arms wrapped around his neck, he didn't smell Hailey or even hear her yet, he thrust himself away from the offending appendages to see Elena looking at him with an amused surprised look on her face. But it soon turned to confusion as Stefan glared at her and decided to walk away from her and more towards his family. She grabbed his wrist and was soon pushed away, "I think I've told you before Elena, stop acting like we're together and just stay away from me!". Soon her doe-like expression turned to a very familiar one, a smirk that only screamed bad intentions. He sighed in annoyance, "Katherine.", she just fluttered her eyes as she looked over at him with appreciating gazes. He felt creeped out but Katherine either didn't care or didn't notice.

"Finally ditched my good girl self, Stefan?", she said as she tried to interlock their arms but was once again pushed off, she looked at Stefan with a pout. He sighed and looked over to his in-laws who were looking on and noticed his uncomfortable stance. Ron pulled out his phone and silently shot a text to his sisters. He had been told stories about this woman; it was people like her that made his mother equally protective of her sons as she was of her daughters. Women who knew better but still decide to seduce (take advantage) a younger man and use him, despite him being naive and young. Katherine Pierce was that and so much worse as she was a vampire and controlled Stefan, who at the time was still fairly young. He and his brothers looked at each other and knew this could get messy so they put a few wards to drive the muggles away from the park along with a few silent wards to not draw attention. Katherine was too busy eating Stefan with her eyes to notice the humans leaving the park.

"I did and I'm already taken. I'm making sure to stay away from manipulative doppelgangers.", Katherine looked at Stefan with a longing look, but she pushed it down she needed him to spare some information about the Originals, last she heard from one of her hybrid spies (they gave her information to lure her back) they were in New Orleans. But it would be nice if Stefan wanted a little reward for such valuable information, he certainly had gotten more attractive. He bulked up quite a bit and had a new mature aura around him, but she couldn't help but notice something was off, but she brushed it off. What could he have done that she hadn't already seen?

"I'm not here to fight I just want to talk...but if you want, we could do a little something after.", she said in what was supposed to sound like a sultry voice but to Stefan, it was like nails against a chalkboard. She made another move to try and lean on him when she was suddenly pinned down to the ground. Stefan had gotten tired of her advances and his in-laws were moving to come help, hopefully, they got something strong enough to tie up a vampire. Katherine was surprised that Stefan was able to keep her pinned down despite being older than him. She then felt a searing pain, she looked up to see some redhead pointing a stick at her, and a rope was coming out of it, every time she tried to break it, it would just get tighter and tighter. She heard a car approaching and was ready to turn on the waterworks and scream only to be petrified at who came out. She saw the entire family of Originals leave the vehicle. Then she noticed HER. A girl that had a beauty so unearthly that screamed she wasn't human, Katherine felt fury and jealousy grip her heart as the black-haired beauty ran to HER Stefan and started coddling him, she felt despair as she noticed Stefan melt in her touch with some rugrats with him. What the hell was going on?!

Niklaus looked down at Katherine as his brothers took hold of her, he looked to Stefan who was holding Hailey close to him along with the boys. Katerina had much to answer for, escaping him was already punishable by death. But to have used her powers to take advantage of his then-human brother was disgusting. He felt immense anger as she was throwing glares at his sister-in-law, they already had to deal with Elena. She was only safe because she was useful, but Katherine was of absolutely no use and therefore totally disposable. He and his brothers took satisfaction as Katerina finally had a look of horror done her face. His hybrids did good work acting as double agents. He gripped her face painfully and spoke with his voice laced with venom, "Hello Katerina, we have a lot to catch up on."

Chapter 14

Immortal Dilemmas

Klaus was just overwhelmed, he has lived for over a thousand years and now there is apparently an entire society of magic that he had no clue about existed? He could see he wasn’t the only one that was but he noticed in his befuddled state that his little brother was one of the few that was calm…oh he was so going to get it!…once Klaus relearned how to stop hyperventilating. Rebekah was fairing better but was still fairly astonished, she had thought there was nothing that could surprise her anymore than a day of knowing Hailey Potter and the impossible seems to happen every few hours!

Stefan was trying to avoid making eye contact with Klaus…he knew he was in for it. Though he knew he should also address a few things to the room explanations were needed…for him not to have to beat a few hybrids to a pulp for making eyes at Hailey. “I think it’s time I tell you guys the full story now that we don’t have to worry about others. You see after that mission I had in Oregon I came across Hailey walking along the road. At the time I didn’t know why but I felt a pull towards her and pulled over and offered her a ride to town. I didn’t know she was a witch and she didn’t know I was a vampire. We felt compelled to try and connect and tell each other our woes. Soon enough we ended up at a bar, there was more talking…and drinking.”, he said that last part in a wince when he saw his mate’s uncle and brother glare at him, even the little guy was giving him an angry pout! He quickly moved on to hopefully dig himself out, but it seemed his sweetheart also wished to chime in. He couldn’t stop his grin to her if he tried.

“We found a hotel and well…we were able to make the adorable little bundles Stefan is holding.”, she blushed out. She wasn’t ashamed of what they had done and what they made but it was still uncomfortable to make it known. She could see the hybrids in the room were baffled by the idea that a vampire could father her children. But it slowly turned into astonishment, the hybrids could hear her heartbeat, she wasn’t lying! A few stepped forward to look at the children closer and was surprised to see Stefan tuck them closer to him and snarl at them. He was calmed down by Hailey placing a hand on his arm. They took a tentative and testing step forward and weren’t snarled at. One definitely looked like her but the other looked so much like Stefan, even then they can see pieces of their mom and dad in either of them.

Stefan and Hailey looked in glee as everyone had finally realized that these were legitimately and biologically HIS. Hailey continued as the little story wasn’t quite done yet. “The night we made the twins was also the night we unknowingly became mates. But when I woke up Stefan had gone.”, the room could hear silent sorrow in her voice and the room turned to glare at Stefan. Though they were shocked to see Stefan with a sorrow expression. They hadn’t yet had the chance to talk about that but it needed to be addressed. She knew she was selfish for bringing it up but it still had hurt a bit that he left even though she partly knew he had to. He gently cupped her face and put their foreheads together, a gesture that is quickly becoming something that they would be known for to calm each other down. Stefan parted a bit with remorse written on his face.

“I’m sorry I left that way. But please know that at the time I thought that me being away from you would be better for you. It killed me that I couldn’t wake up to see your face every day and I had missed you so much that I even began to dream about you. I won’t as for forgiveness but please know that everyday I yearned to be with you.”, Stefan waited for her decision. He was rewarded with a soft kiss which he eagerly reciprocated. She had a blush but again had a smile that melted him.

“I understand it was better for us to be apart at the time. My world was already in chaos and it hearing about my pregnancy and relationship with a creature would have drove it towards an edge. Fate had planned for us to meet now and I’m not one to look in the horse’s mouth.”, they almost got lost in each other’s eyes until Remus had cleared his throat pointedly and said with his eyes to finish the rest. Hailey turned scarlet at the reminder of an audience but continued.

“In my world that registers us as a married couple and they make it register to this side as well. I didn’t know about this until later. In order to understand this next bit is to know that I am the Mistress of the Death. I am immortal but I don’t require blood and there really isn’t a way to kill me. Being the mistress essentially means that I have the power to avoid death and communicate with it. I’m not sure what other powers come with it. There was a prophecy a long time ago that said that the Master of Death and a Creature of Death would be able to make the Heir of Death. That was how we got Caelan. But the thing is, is that I’m also Magic’s Chosen. Essentially I’m able to do things with magic nobody could ever do. Magic also wanted an heir for that mantle and so Magic’s Heir was born with the Heir of Death, Cedar. Not to mention in my world it’s also not so rare for a magical vampire male to get a witch pregnant. The thing is in my world I’m considered a big deal so I needed to move to the normal world. It really was just coincidence that me and Stefan had reunited here.”, she finished with an impish smile.

The pack now knew the story of the Potter-Salvatore family. It was an absolute marvel children had been born to a vampire father and a witch mother. Both races had been thought to absolutely despise the other and one race was cursed with never being able to procreate. Yet the Potter-Salvatore family had just destroyed that known fact. Children that are half witch and half vampire in a way similar to them, not really belonging to either kind so having to become their own. It made the hybrids want to protect the boys. Klaus saw the determination in their eyes and saw the same fierce protectiveness in his sister’s eyes that was usually held for those in their family. Stefan and Hailey had wormed their way into her heart and their children had quickly captured it. Nik had stepped up and did what no one believed he was capable of doing. He kneeled.

“I, Niklaus Mikaelson, Alpha of the Hybrids hereby swear that my pack will protect the Potter-Salvatore family. May our families remain allied and flourish in growth. Please know that by marrying Stefan this now makes Hailey Potter my sister and I will protect her as such. With their children as my nephews anyone that dares to harm them will meet an excruciating end.”, Klaus had said it so inspiringly that soon his hybrids had followed his example and his sister had as well. Rebekah couldn’t hold back her smile if she could, she finally had a sister and nephews to boot!Hailey then shocked them. She got to her knees and brought Stefan and the boys with her, took Klaus’s hand into hers and smiled to him. Her family came up behind her and also took a knee to show that they are behind her and support her. She took her other wand to raise her wand in the air.

“As you are now my brother I pledge a magical oath to your pack. I, Hailey Jamie Potter, hereby state that the Hybrid Pack is under our protection. Any who declared your enemy is now ours. As we are now family we are equal. You protect us and we protect you, so I say so mote it be!”, at her words her wand began to glow and shoot a spark of magic in the air. The oaths and vows done everyone in the room was contempt with the silence. But it was broken when Hailey’s stomach made itself known again. They all made their way to the large dining table and started the feast. Not worried about muggles Tonks had conjured a high chair for Teddy out of the chair next to her. Hailey had summoned the twins bassinet and charmed their bottles to hold themselves as the twins ate. They did it so nonchalantly that they ignored the awed looks from the pack. Ron had started plucking food so quickly that it startled the rest to start eating as well. They mostly talked about the new comers, the babies, what made the difference between them and wiccans, and how Remus was a slightly different werewolf. Rebekah was chatting with Hermione and Tonks was pleasantly surprised to find out there was a whole world of shopping that she had yet to explore. They were gonna have to wait a few days before they could have a shopping spree but plans were being made.

A gentle jingle went off that alerted that the boys were done eating. Hailey went to go and pick them up and began to burp them, Stefan followed and held Caelan while she held Cedar. She decided to move the bassinet closer to her seat so she hovered it over, she gestured to Stefan and both put their children in. She looked through the baby bag and found the boy’s pacifiers, it lulled them to sleep fairly quickly due to their tummies being full. Seeing the boys falling asleep reminded Remus to give Hailey her room key. “Cub, here’s yours I already have mine as do Ron and Hermione.”, Stefan looked confused at the key what was it for?

“Oh yeah, we checked the house. The outside is pretty good but the inside needs some color. The furniture needs to be bought, so we’ll look at catalogs tomorrow. We’ll need kitchen stuff and bathroom stuff but that’s about it. But everything will feel just like home once we start hanging some pictures and portraits around. We already put your bags in the Master bedroom Hailey, awesome part is that it connects to a smaller room that can be made into a nursery. Also, Remus, Tonks we made sure to make a door between yours and Teddy’s nursery.”, Ron and Hermione checked out the house. There was some workers fixing it up from the ministry that mostly just stayed out of their way. They were replacing paint, getting rid of mold, and remolding the house essentially to be more modern on the inside and keep the look on the outside. The man in charge said it would be ready by tomorrow morning as planned. They could have the workers do everything for them but then it wouldn’t feel like home.

Stefan was starting to feel worried, he didn’t want to be separated from his mate and sons! His vampire was beginning to go into a frenzy as well, they went so long without her being in a different building will definitely make him neurotic. But they already made arrangements for the night and he can’t just insist for her family to spend the night when it wasn’t his house. He felt his head spin but luckily his pseudo brother was having the same idea. A recovering ripper has very gentle control, Stefan having to deal with everything here is already pushing it as it is. Klaus has no doubt that Stefan could recover, he has trained and pushed himself so much to have a good control of his bloodlust he just needed a bit more time and of course the support of his mate. “How about you spend the night here instead, after today’s events I would rather we have everyone in one place?”, Klaus offered.

“That’s very kind of you but we wouldn’t want to impose-“, Remus didn’t want to impose on the man. He and Moony are not sure how to view Klaus yet. He was the brother to what is basically his nephew-in-law. It seems strange to view him as a nephew though since Klaus and Stefan were older than him. Perhaps being with them for the night would help. But there was a question that he needed an answer to before he could agree.

“Please you would be easing me and we have more than enough room for everyone.”, Klaus insisted. He could see Remus was willing to accept. He could see Stefan getting anxious while waiting for Remus’s decision.

“Well…thank you. But that does bring up what had occurred today, why on earth would you need to be eased and why did we hear about Hailey having been involved in some brawl?”, he was worried about what dangers she could encounter. They left the wizarding world because of its laws and fighting even after the war. They just wanted some semblance of peace.

“I’m afraid that would be my fault. While we trying to get Hailey something to eat earlier we ran into my biological brother Damon. Damon resents me for a lot of things and he was trying to get a ride out of me and he succeeded. He insulted me and then moved to try and seduce Hailey in front of me. Next thing I know he’s on the ground and I’m punching him in the face.”, Stefan said with guilt lacing his tone. But Remus understood as a creature himself. The nerve of that man to try and do that to a mated couple, mates were not common in their world but not unheard of they were considered sacred in creature law. But unless properly bonded, a wedding ceremony, their world would dismiss it. Hearing of this Damon’s actions reminded him of the stories he’s heard of noble men trying to force a mated woman into courting or marriage and completely ignoring the mating bond. To families like the Malfoy’s and Parkinson’s they deemed mating to be below them. He sneered at the thought of his niece being pursued by some deviant that didn’t respect the bond.

Remus looked to Stefan and saw how he still had a face of guilt, that needed to stop. “Get that look of guilt of your face! What you did was justified, a man, a brother no less is supposed to respect a relationship between a man and a woman. Your brother did not, in creature law it would have been justified for you to take his head off.”, he took a deep breath he needed to calm himself before Moony takes it as an invite to go and look for the other Salvatore brother. “What I’m saying is a man protects what he loves and you did that granted it could have been in a more controlled manner. But I will not scold you on defending Hailey and your sons. We are family now and we accept all of you, your brother is just something that if necessary will be dealt with.”, Remus said as he walked to Stefan and put a hand on his shoulders. Family means being there for each other through thick and thin it is not determined by genetics or blood. He gave Stefan an understanding smile, Hailey was close and drew them both for a hug with happy tears in her eyes. Both men were flustered but still had smiles.

“Hermione be a dear and call the hotel we’re staying here for the night.” Remus requested to Hermione she smiled and got the deed done. Klaus had send a group of Hybrids with Ron to go get the luggage but they didn’t expect to side-along apparate with him. He got a scolding from Hermione when he returned as the hybrids were very nauseous. The pack took turns patrolling easing Stefan, Klaus, and Remus. The hybrids usually stayed on the first floor to sleep. The couples roomed together in the barely used second floor. Stefan had his own room and was delighted to have his family sharing it with him. Hailey fed the boys once more before burping them with the assistance of Stefan. They put them to sleep in the bassinets Hailey hovered from the dining room. Stefan chuckled at the simple yet amazing use of magic. He wasn’t sure if Bonnie could even do something like that.

That night Rebekah and Klaus had a serious discussion. Klaus was nearly complete in making hybrids, enough to protect his family from Mikael but it brought the question of their brothers. He had no doubt that his brothers would want to inflict serious damage to him but he made a vow. Rebekah was with him, ever since Hailey entered Stefan’s life and in return them entering the family Klaus had seem closer to how he had been when they were human. He’s progressed so much and went to extreme lengths to ensure their family safety from father. She suggested that they undagger their brothers as soon as Hailey, the boys, and the rest of the family were in their new home. There was no way they were gonna risk their lives with their brothers thirst. She made some suggestions to make her brothers forgive Klaus faster.

Elijah would need to have a conversation with Klaus, a long one and once he sees how much Klaus resembles his old self things will be fine. Kol would be tricky as all he was ever interested in was witches and magic, though a light went up in Klaus’s head at that. After Kol gets his anger out he would reveal what he has learned, a whole world hidden filled with magic. Rebekah thought about it and it should be enough to placate Kol and after he’s controlled his hunger he could even meet the new witches and wizards of Mystic Falls. Rebekah had doubt on Finn, all he ever cared for was Sage and Klaus killed her. She slapped Klaus on the head and berated him for doing so but was momentarily shocked to see his confusion. He never killed Sage, it spurred Rebekah. That was it! All was needed was to locate Sage and Finn would be fine.

Before going to sleep that night for Klaus he was plagued with thoughts on his brothers. He knew that the bonds he had with Kol and Finn needed serious mending. After so long he just wanted his brothers back, for them to be safe and he didn’t care if he made them angry by doing so. What hurt would be knowing that he hurt his brothers in another way. They were well adverse with anger but he knew that like Elijah all his brothers needed a conversation perhaps multiple. But he wouldn’t stop until they realized that they were family and he needed them safe. They could hate him but he would never forgive himself if they thought in any way that they didn’t matter to him. Every sin and atrocities he had committed had been to protect his siblings, even if to them he was just their…bastard brother. He went to sleep hoping for the future to shed light on his family old and new.

Stefan felt completely content and slightly embarrassed. Hailey was dressed in ONLY a t-shirt with her underwear. We had similar sleeping attire but she seemed completely oblivious to what having her so close to him is doing. She was already asleep and they were spooning but he had a…problem. She would shift and accidentally rub against him taking him forever to will away his…stiffness. But he went to sleep happy. Every three hours the boys would wake demanding nourishment and attention. He and Hailey were grateful that they did it at the same time.

It did give him the chance to think through the night, he panicked at not being with Hailey for the night how would he handle her being in an entire different building. He brought it up with her and she was understanding she had actually planned to invite him to live in their mansion as they were married it made sense for them to live in the same home. It made him elated but he had to tell Klaus, they would need to make a new schedule to keep his training up. When the morning came there was more pack family cooking, Stefan cooked Hailey her share as she had to feed the boys. He was rewarded with a delightful thank you kiss that had everyone wolf-whistle at them. Stefan told Klaus about upcoming changes and Klaus was happy to make a few tweaks to their schedule. Someone rung the doorbell breaking the happy domestic atmosphere, Tyler stood up to answer it after getting a nod from Klaus. They all grew annoyed as the person started impatiently banging on the door.

They were beyond annoyed when it was opened to reveal Damon and Elena. They pushed pass Tyler as if they owned the place and marched to the dining table. Hailey’s family was confused as who they were until they saw the look on Hailey’s face. She looked uncomfortable and annoyed and that was enough for her family to know that these people were here to bring trouble. Remus was sitting in front of Stefan and nudged him to get his attention. He raised an eyebrow and Stefan let out an annoyed sigh that caused Damon to smirk at him and Elena to just look disappointed…but it turned into jealousy at seeing the new girl right next to Stefan. “Might as well get this out of the way, that is Damon, my brother, and that’s Elena Gilbert. Her blood, while human, let’s Klaus make hybrids.”, Stefan didn’t say anything more as that is all they were to him now. They nodded in understanding, Elena looked angry at Stefan’s introduction of her. It turned angrier when the new girl put a hand on Stefan as if to assure him of something.

Klaus was the one to ask the question. “Miss Gilbert I do believe that we don’t require you for another three days. What on Earth are you doing in my home, uninvited?”, he hoped and prayed to anyone listening that Salvatore hadn’t convinced her to lash out.

“Who is she and what do you have planned Klaus?”, the nerve of this human girl.

“I believe I already told you who she is Elena. She’s my wife and mother to my-“, Stefan was saying annoyed but then got cut off by his infuriating brother.

“That’s total crap and you know it Stefan!”, Damon was done with that stupid cover story.

“Well not that it’s any of your business but Hailey is a witch, not like Bonnie and her mind at all, and the boys are halflings. Half vampire, half wizard.”, he proceeded to explain their story for what felt like the fifth time. He ignored the disbelieving scoffs and annoyed glares from both of them. He got agitated when Elena had started to glare and march up to him and Hailey. She ignored the tables warning growls and then proceeded to rant.

“You can’t expect us to believe that a vampire knocked you up! I remember Stefan coming back from that mission and it was like three months ago. If he had been able to actually put a baby in you wouldn’t they need more time to actually be born?”, she ended with a scoff. Elena thought back on the night Stefan came back and he had those marks that had nearly driven her crazy! That damned new girl was the same girl that left those disgusting marks on Stefan! As soon as she was done she felt her hair begin to stick up on its ends. She looked and saw that little attention hogger had a blank face but her eyes were glowing and brewing a storm. She was about to make another remark when she was suddenly upside down in mid air. She went up with a startled yelp and felt as if a rope was hanging into her foot, she was flailing about that she didn’t notice the room go deadly silent as the Mistress of Death made her way in front of her. Damon was about to speed to them but was held back by Stefan and Tyler. Elena stopped struggling and shouting when a delicate hand and held her face in a painful grip.

“I don’t care what you believe it doesn’t change the fact that Stefan is the father to my sons. You are of great value to Klaus at the moment so I won’t harm you for your disrespect of my family. But know this I could kill you with two words, I could make you bite your tongue and fingers off with a single word, and with a single word I can make you feel as if your blood had been replaced with molted lava. Don’t ever believe that I will stand for your spoiled behavior, any disrespect or harm to my family and any nightmares you have I will make into a reality.”, her family was standing at attention just as they did in the war. Her voice used with Elena was reserved for death eaters and Voldemort. It put terror and respect though anyone soul who heard it, except for Damon and Elena they had pure terror on their faces. Stefan was practically drooling over how fierce Hailey had spoke. He and Tyler finally let Damon go when Elena had fallen in a very ungraceful heap on the floor.

Damon pulled Elena close to him once he got her off of the floor. She was enjoying being so close to Damon but she couldn’t ignore how Stefan was fawning over Potter. Elena was furiously jealous that girl was gorgeous, apparently had married Stefan, and given him children. She would have never been able to do any of that and standing in the same room as Potter makes her feel inadequate. She needed her gone now! Not to mention Potter is a threat, maybe she had Stefan under some spell, and maybe she was there to threaten Elena. She whispered to Damon her thoughts and Damon was set in at least leaving a mark. Damn Stefan again for getting everything! Elena was still pining over him and now he had a gorgeous witch on his arm! And apparently he was a father, that was Damon’s dream first, he’s older, he deserves to have what he wants too!!

The whole room was now ignoring their existence. It reminded Damon of when he was a human child and baby Stefan was born. Suddenly he didn’t matter, he was overlooked, he only got attention when he demanded it. But Stefan had some weird talent that made people pay more attention to him. He didn’t have everyone watching him and that had made a very resentful Damon. It had gotten slightly better once Stefan got older but the resentment never disappeared, it multiplied when Katherine came. He made his way to the little witch bitch and her brats. Stefan was across the room previously talking to Klaus and trying to ignore their presence. But his vampire face came in full force at seeing Damon near his wife and children.

Damon, who loves to torment Stefan at any chance he gets, leaned over Hailey when Stefan was being placated by Klaus to not go into a murderous rage. Flirting with her was getting him nowhere and he was staring to get annoyed. He put his hand on her shoulder and was planning to crush it with his enhanced strength to give her a good scare when the unexpected happened, at least to Damon and Elena. The twins while still infants where very in tune with energy, to the point that they could be empaths. They sensed their ‘uncle’s’ energy, it was filled with so much negativity that the twins had a flight or fight reaction. They were definitely their parents children as both reacted with fight. Caelan had hissed and protracted his baby fangs and bit the hand that intended to cause his mother harm. While Cedar in distress used his accidental magic to start throwing anything that wasn’t nailed to the ground at him bringing the situation to the whole room’s attention. Elena cursed under her breath.

Once he saw his brother’s hand on his mate he was engulfed with possessiveness at seeing it, protectiveness from seeing how much distress her and the twins are, and saw red as Damon had soon recovered and turn his anger from Caelan biting him and Cedar throwing things, to Hailey. Damon had started to protract his fangs to drain Hailey as punishment but was interrupted from it as his little brother had decided to punch him in the jaw. The punch was strong enough that it shattered his jaw and threw him into the opposite wall. Soon a whole team of hybrids had him pinned to the ground as the Original hybrid himself walked over and bent at his waist to speak to Damon.

“Now, I believe we have given you fair warning about trying to harm her. Not to mention the twins poor throats from crying. You have broken the agreement now, Elena dear I’m afraid he must be punished.”, Klaus said. His voice sounded nonchalant but his face gave off how angry he was. He had his eyes glowing and glaring down at Damon. He made a shooing motion with his hand and the hybrids took it as the sign to drag Damon to the dungeon. Damon was trying to break free but the hybrids didn’t let up. Elena started to panic.

“You can’t do that! We had a de-“, she was on the verge of having another crying hit when she was cut off.

“The deal was that I can’t hurt you or anyone you cared for. However it did not say anything about Rebekah and Stefan and definitely nothing about our new family members. They have total freedom to enact the punishment the elder Salvatore deserves.”, Klaus said with an impish smirk. He had his hands behind his back to indicate that it wasn’t his hands that would have Damon’s blood on them. She looked to Stefan ignoring his glare and ran to him and clenched at his forearms. Causing Hailey to glare at her.

“Stefan please! Be reasonable this is your-“, she was starting to shake him and plead with him. But Stefan was fed up and pushed her away. The action itself made Elena had a face on as if he had just slapped her.

“NOT MY BROTHER ANYMORE ELENA! He had his chance and he tried to hurt my wife and sons! Every instinct in me is begging for me to end him! Be grateful that Klaus hasn’t decided to kill him!”, he was fed up with Elena shrieking and grabbing him. It felt wrong to have her touch him. Elena fell to her knees with unshed tears in her eyes and looked shocked at Stefan’s disregard of her. She looked to Tyler in hopes of getting sympathy but he was avoiding her eyes and instead focusing on making the twins laugh at his silly faces. He and Ron were actually succeeding which made Hailey smile. At seeing her smile Elena had enough and stormed out of the mansion and back to the boardinghouse.

There she found the gang that had answered her calls, as usual. All of them had hesitant faces on after what happened at the grill. When Elena retold her story of what occurred they dreaded what she was going to ask of them. They were given warnings but of course Damon had to go and mess with the person that they were told under no circumstances to mess with. The girl was a new mother for goodness sakes, why would Damon and Elena try to hurt her?! Bonnie had asked the very question and Elena started on again. Caroline had enough of hearing how Elena was making it seem that they were attacked and of course making herself the damsel in distress. Especially since Elena’s plan was to break in the Mikaelson Mansion to get Damon.

“Elena! I would rather choke on my own intestines before risking my life for Damon!”, Caroline finally snapped. With tears in her eyes she finally turned her back to Elena and made her way to the door.

“We can’t just abandon him, Care! Think of everything he’s done for-“, Elena was ready to start one of her insufferable speeches about how Damon had redeemed himself but was cut off abruptly. Everyone deserved a second chance but…Damon Salvatore has had more than enough chances. His own brother had been able to see that why can’t Elena!?

“For YOU, Elena! For you and even then it’s for selfish reasons. Elena I have been your friend since forever but I can’t do it anymore. After everything he’s done, you still want him. He’s the reason your biological dad died remember! Because he was selfish and forced his blood onto you! He’s the reason I had turned into a vampire because he was taking advantage of me and didn’t want his walking blood bag to die! He killed Mason, Elena! You know the guy that babysat us until we were thirteen! The worst part is, is that I know that none of this changes how you feel towards him!”, she couldn’t hold anything back anymore! She was sobbing everything out and Elena had misty eyes but didn’t challenge anything she was saying. So much had happened, they all had lost so much, and what she named was only what she knew of. They all had their grievances with Damon but Elena seems to just wave them off.

“I know Elena that the reason you started liking Damon was because he didn’t care who he hurt in order for you to be alive, which unfortunately includes the rest of us! I’m done Elena, I’m done with everyone your supposed to care about being disposable side characters in your life!”, with everything out in the air the room was silent. Caroline had tear tracks on her face and she finally walked out of the room. She just couldn’t handle it anymore, Elena didn’t care and even encouraged Damon to try and hurt the new girl. A girl in which she knew had babies to mother, she just couldn’t believe Elena would be so selfish to want to get rid of that girl just because Stefan fell for her. She needed someone to talk to…hopefully Stefan wouldn’t mind another person on his side. Tyler had the right idea about staying with his new pack. Maybe she could finally get to know the Originals a bit more without Elena and Damon whispering in her ear. She made her stance known she wonders what the rest of them will do.

Hey, have you thought about maybe making a master list for your story, Immortal Dilemmas?

Hi! To be honest I don’t even know how to make a master list. I can try though. I’ll try to have it done in a couple of days.

You guys are probably going to think I’m a nut job but I sort of created a team based off that the character would get red eyes when transforming or when they are being controlled. With Harry we know that he got red eyes whenever Voldemort would take possession of him. With Barry when he was under the influence of the Rainbow Raider his eyes would turn red. Peter, I had once seen a fan art of him under the influence of venom and he had red eyes and then there is also Instant Kill Mode that I love to see on him. With Scott every time he goes wolf he has his red eyes shown, red eyes in his world signify the status of a alpha wolf. Danny had once been under control by Freakshow and during that he had red eyes instead of his normal blue or green. And Jake normally has his eyes black but for a split moment when he transforms he has flames in his eyes, so I just saw them as red instead. To be perfectly honest I had created this team because they are all characters I had a crush on while growing up.

Task force : Tricksters

Harry Potter - Daniel Radcliffe -Warlock

Barry Allen - Grant Gustin - Vortex

Peter Parker - Tom Holland -Arachnid

Scott McCall - Tyler Posey - Alpha

Danny Fenton - Logan Lerman -Phantom

Jake Long - Ryan Potter - Dragon

I put who I imagine in the team and what I thought would be like their code names. I also came up with nicknames they call each other since they are too paranoid to use their actual names or don’t remember them. I’m still working on the story for it.

Harry- Voodoo

Barry- Roady (short for roadrunner)

Peter- Spinner

Scott- Puppy

Danny- Spooky

Jake- Mushu

Preview:

Hydra had heard rumors that all over ,there are powerful forces that could even outdo what the super soldier serum could do. There were mentions of children having powers that make grown men keel over. A baby in London had made his house blowup when an intruder had entered. His parents were deceased but the baby only had a scar to show that he was harmed. It was said that only a pile of robes and ashes were left of the intruder. A boy barely out of elementary school had seen his parents get murdered and had suddenly entered a coma for a year. Rumors say that his body would vibrate suddenly and stop as soon as it happened. And when he woke up he was perfectly healthy. He had said that the person who killed his parents drugged him as all he saw that was attacking his parents where flashes of lightning. A boy who had just recently started elementary school had recently been displaying abnormal strength and unusual stickiness after visiting his parents (undercover) work place. The child was under Hydra’s radar especially as his parents had been SHIELD agents and recent targets. A boy who had recently started middle school had been displaying odd behaviors after he had told his parents he had been bitten by a big dog. His parents hadn’t believed him as he had no wounds on him, but afterward he had become extremely aggressive when upset and had strange reactions towards his senses. A rumor from another state that a baby boy had been would go missing constantly after his parents had found him in their latest invention. A scout that was sent out had reported seeing the boy’s eyes glow green when having a small tantrum. And finally, a source from China had reported that a family had been slaughtered in what seemed to be a gang war. But Hydra saw differently. The only survivor had been a toddler. The boy had said to the Chinese officials that his parents had taken a vacation to China to visit his mother’s family when the bad men came. His mother had hid him in a secret room in the closet and told him to only come out when he heard nothing. The young boy was sent to an orphanage but would display odd behavior. He would often growl when angry and roar when having a tantrum. The orphanage had reported that the young boy at the age of seven had blew fire out of his mouth.

It’a a work in progress but I just wanted to know if I should continue with this insane idea or just give it up and just have this task force doing their adventures in my head.

The ships I have in mind so far are Harry x Cedric, Oliver x Barry, Scott x Liam, Danny x Sam (Manson), and Jake x Rose. I’m not mentioning Peter because I am stuck on who to ship him with. As you can tell by my name I would normally ship him with Bucky but I can also see Peter happily in a relationship with Steve or MJ. So out of those three I don’t know who to ship him with in this story.

Just worked on this don’t know if it’s good but you know I’m kinda proud of it

Cedric was not one that could be angered easily. But tonight, he had nearly blew a gasket. When he had asked Cho Chang to be his date it was more of a ploy to try and get over his first ( and only) love... and to maybe get her a little jealous. But the tables were turned as soon as he saw who Viktor Krum had brought as his date. Viktor had brought Harriet Potter ( love of Cedric’s life) as his date with a smug smirk on his face when looking at Cedric. It took everything in Cedric not to demand answers from Krum and even more to not abandon Cho in favor of stealing Harriet. After glaring and hoping a hole would burn into Krum’s head, he turned his head slightly to take in Harriet’s appearance. She was naturally beautiful and did not care for makeup and other girly things. But seeing her dressed up for the Yule Ball absolutely took his breath away. She was dressed in emerald green gown that had made Slytherin girls green with envy and Slytherin boys drool and trip over themselves.

Gorgeous, could not begin to describe how she looked. One would wonder if Harriet had Veela lineage. Seeing her so beautiful but for another man made Cedric feel something twist painfully in his stomach and boil his blood. Through out the night he had made sure that Krum had made no advancements on his lioness. He hardly made an effort to pay attention to Cho. If he had he would of noticed her scowling at Harriet and trying to divert his attention back to her.

Viktor’s POV

It was quite amusing to see the foolish badger looking territorial. I had asked Harriet to the ball after finding her crying in a library secluded table. After coming to this foolish school, I could find that many of it’s residents were just downright frustrating to deal with. However, I had met Harriet and her friends. Her lot and her knew that I was just another person, so we had become quick friends. Harriet is the sister I always wanted so, seeing cry just made me so furious with Diggory. After the fist task a lot of people had begun to see that my darling little sister did not willingly enter her name but Diggory was still hesitant to come and apologize to her. She looked so sad that he had asked another girl to the ball that I just had to do something. Not to mention this was the perfect way to keep all unworthy boys away from my precious sister. After all despite what my sister thinks she is actually very desired through out the school. I was pulled out of my musings when I felt someone staring at me. I turned around to see stormy gray eyes of my fellow champion. I wanted to mess with him a little so I did what would probably rile any guy up. I put my arm around my honorary sister’s waist and whispered in her ear.

“ I would rather be playing some quidditch with you instead of this boring ball, after all you are probably the only one that could match my skill here.”, I saw from the corner of my eye Diggory tensing up and looked like he was going to stomp his way towards us If he hadn’t been held back by that infuriating girl, Cho Chang.

“ Same, I would rather be flying through the air than having my feet on my ground.”, Harriet had whispered back to me with a beaming smile on her face. That smile alone caused my heart to melt at how adorable she is. And from my field of vision it looked like I wasn’t the only one affected. Boys all over the hall were getting slapped upside their head for staring at Harriet. But the best reaction was Diggory‘s he looked absolutely transfixed on Harriet that he didn’t notice Cho huff at him with frustrated tears in her eyes. Ah, it is always a pleasure in giving people a taste of their own medicine.

Cedric’s POV:

It hurt so much to see her smile like that to another man. Despite being Hufflepuff’s poster boy, I am still a man ( that happens to be a little possessive when it comes to my lioness). I know I broke up with Harriet but I wasn’t thinking clearly and was hurt when I heard all the rumors going around school. I should have known better but I wanted this chance to prove that I was good enough to be her first and only boyfriend. But seeing her so friendly with the Viktor Krum made me wonder if I was really worth being her only boyfriend — no, I refuse. I am going to prove that I am worthy of loving her. I just need to prove to her that she is the only one for me and that I would only ever truly love her. But I already messed up by bring Cho, maybe I could just leave early and tell Cho that we should just be friends. Hufflepuff reputation of being kind aside, I just wanted my fierce lioness back and hopefully she still wants her ridiculous badger. I turned to face Cho to get it over with because a second more of seeing Krum whispering and giggling with my lioness is starting to cause me to see red and not the good kind like Harriet’s quidditch uniform. As I turned to look at Cho for the fist time since I saw Harriet enter the hallway on Krum’s arm and I see a weird look in her eye, better get this over with, NOW.

Cho’s POV:

Cedric was finally looking at ME. Not that glorified Potter. I don’t get why all the boys seem to be fawning over her. She was pretty sure but usually Potter doesn’t even care to look presentable during school. Unlike me, in which I make sure that I look nothing less than 110%. So when Cedric took his eyes off his horrendous ex, I couldn’t contain my excitement.

“Hey... um... “, why was he being so awkward? Was he going to apologize for ignoring me or maybe even better ask me to be his new girlfriend, I know I would be much better at it than Potter.

Oh! I can already see our future together the wedding, the house and even our-

“I’m going to turn in Cho, I’m pretty tired. Thanks for being such a good friend —“. I couldn’t process anything my dear Cedric said after that.

He wasn’t going to ask me out?! But why?!?! I am literally the most perfect girl for him! It MUST be because he was still under that chit Potter lover spell. Oh my poor Cedric! Don’t worry darling, I will be there when you finally realize that I am truly the one for you. I looked up to see Cedric had an expected face, he was waiting for my response.

“ Don’t worry Cedric you just go back to your dorm and get some rest. Merlin knows you deserve it.” I said with a forced smile on my face. I watched him with concentrated eyes as he walked back to his dorm. Blasted Potter was still on Krum’s arm acting so innocent, if she’s innocent then Snape actually loves Gryffindor.

Draco’s POV:

Blasted Krum, how dare he just show up to my school and think he can have anybody he wants. Potter should be on my arm showing her how much better than Diggory I was. But instead she’s on the arm of that brute. She looked absolutely gorgeous and had a lot of the male population’s eyes on her through out the ball, it just made me want to scream and hex said male population for daring to look at her. I wanted to ask her to the ball since I knew Diggory had asked Cho but word got around that Potter had a mystery date and rejecting any and all invites. It had made me burn with rage that I had originally plotted to hex whoever her date was when they finally showed their stupid face. Seeing as her date turned out to be Krum threw my plan out the bloody window. Damned Krum, my father will hear about this.
